Beautifully maintained cemetery in Kandy managed by the CWGS. Situated beyond the lakeside and the national Museum. A place selected to rest the bodies of the British colonists.

I didn't meet the guide so maybe he's who makes the difference. Was expecting the gravestones to describe all manner of demises as suggested by reviews but the one's I saw just provided the normal info I've seen in English gravestones.

We found it both fascinating and sad to read the inscriptions on the tomb stones.

Those, mostly officers, who were older and... More

Up a small hill behind the big Buddist Temple of the Tooth is a small, well kept colonial cemetary which gives an interesting insight into the lives & deaths of the British in Ceylon around 200 years ago & how young many of them were when they died, with both male & female family members. Well worth an hour out... More

The Garrison Cemetery was a lovely little colonial find. It was very well cared for and the staff were very eager to help. The grave stones are interesting and there is a nice museum as well. Enjoy!

It is tidy and carefully maintained by Mr Charles Carmichael and his assistant. Mr Carmichael is the grandson of a Scottish settler and an Indian lady. His knowledge is... More

nothing particularly spectacular about the garrison cemetery. will appeal to thpose rresearching local history but otherwise probably not worth a detour

This is an incredibly atmospheric small cemetary only a few minutes walk from the lake. The caretaker and his grandson are very informative. We 'popped in' for a short visit and emerged a couple of hours later. Don't miss the small chapel and please leave a donation - we saw a couple of other very neglected and overgrown cemeteries in...
