Do you mean the brand new one.



Or, the one that is called The New British Cemetery. Opposite and about 50 yards towards Girne Centre from Pia Bella is the Foreigners Cemetary. You can walk through the Foriegn Cemetery or drive/walk about 100 yards down the road running alongside the cemetery. The British Cemetery is directly behind the foreign cemetery.

For the BRAND new one, which is doing it's first "one" tomorrow;



Turn up towards the GAU campus at Karaglaoglu. At the roundabout at the very top, continue accross, but bear a little left and head upwards along a track, it appears you are heading for an army base, but keep left. It is suitable for all cars. It's about a 5-min drive. When approaching you will see a brand new walled area and a nice little chapel.



Alternatively, wait at this roundabout for the cars going to the cemetary.



I think the directions are pretty accurate, but please double check.

Is this a new Cemetery, as I thought that once the 'British Cemetery' in Girne was full then there was plots in Lapta and this was going to be called the New British Cemetery'

Has this been superseeded by the one mentioned above?
