This is our second, and more recently opened, burial ground and is on
a gentle slope in a quiet valley in one of the most attractive and historic
areas of Leicestershire.
The brook along the northern edge of the area already provides a valuable
wildlife refuge. Woodland with open wildflower glades is being created
as the burial ground develops. Several thousand trees and shrubs have
already been planted and this work will continue over the coming years.
Direction to Scraptoft Natural Burial Ground
Situated on Keyham Lane East, just 5 miles east of Leicester City centre.
Take the A47 east out of Leicester, after 2 ½ miles take the left-hand
turn into Scraptoft Lane (at a petrol station). When you get to Scraptoft
turn left into Scraptoft Rise and follow the one way system along Main
Street onto the Beeby road. Follow the road, passing the turning for the
golf course on the left, and continue down the hill for 1/3 mile past
a farmhouse on the left. The Burial ground is now on your right. Go under
the barrier and into car park.
