Path through Key Hill cemetery, showing graves and trees
Access

There is vehicle access to the cemetery via the Icknield Street and Key Hill gates with a speed limit of 5mph.

The road network allows access to most sections, but there are some restrictions with bollards near the catacombs due to weight limits. All roads are narrow. Consider other cemetery visitors when parking. Do not park on the grave sections or grassed areas. Park by the Key Hill gate (2 parking bays) if you can.

All paths were resurfaced in 2021 to improve level access for wheelchair users and pushchairs, but there may be leaves or fallen branches on the paths. Take care when walking along grave rows as the ground may be uneven and vegetation may cover kerbs or other trip hazards.

There are no toilet facilities in the cemetery.

There is no staffed office on site. Key Hill Cemetery is managed from Sutton New Hall Cemetery.

Key Hill Cemetery is served by the 8 and 101 bus routes (Chamberlain Clock stop) which are about a 15 minute walk away and by the Jewellery Quarter station for trains and trams (10 minute walk away).
