Bisley Road Cemetery Management Plan Print E-mail

The Bisley Road Cemetery is a Local Nature Reserve partly within and adjoining the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Stroud Town Council manages it with advice from Gloucestershire Wildlife Management, on behalf of Stroud District Council.

The cemetery lies on sloping south-facing ground on the eastern edge of Stroud with access from Bisley Road and Horns Road. It comprises the Victorian Chapel of Rest, old gravestones, unimproved limestone grassland, scrub, plantation woodland, specimen trees and boundary walls. There is open access to the public. The council is planning to install interpretive information points to help inform visitors to the site of local history and interesting wildlife.
