Guided Heritage Walks
On the first Sunday of every month (except January) at 10.30am volunteer guides from the FOTC will lead a guided heritage walk through the cemetery. Please meet under the flagpole. Walks will be approximately 90 minutes in duration. Please wear a hat and sturdy shoes and it is advisable to carry water. There is plenty of parking available inside the cemetery. There is no charge but a small donation would be appreciated. There is no need to book, just show up.
