Golden Valley Woodland Burial Ground

Description

Set in a tranquil corner of the wooded Golden Valley Country Park, near Ripley, in Derbyshire, this Woodland Burial Ground is truly special, being the only one in the country that has a preserved steam railway line running alongside.

The Woodland Burial Ground is just under one acre in size and is accessed by a footpath that goes into the Country Park from behind the Newlands Inn at Riddings, near Ripley.

(The burial ground is between five and ten minutes drive from where the A38 passes near to Alfreton.)

Golden Valley Woodland Cemetery is also the venue used by people who choose to have a Railway Funeral.

As well as bringing benefits to the environment, every burial here helps the Midland Railway Centre, the preservation group committed to maintaining the traditions of our glorious steam heritage.
