This is not a reserve but rather a continuation of the practice of the "cycle of life" and "return to nature". With hope it will be a perpetual, sustainable site to naturally return our bodies to the soil within a perpetual and sustainable woodland.
Whilst access is normally freely available, some short restrictions may occur during forestry work.
Just a nice place to remember saying some goodbyes.
The Good Funeral Guide presented Bidwell Woodland with the Cemetery of the Year award in 2012.
