Overview
The burial ground is located north of Shrivenham and west of Watchfield. Close to the site are Westmill Wind Farm and Westmill Solar Park, two renewable energy resources. The burial ground was founded and is managed by Liz Rothchild, who is also Director of Kicking the Bucket, a festival about living and dying. The community interest company Westmill Woodland Burial Ground C.I.C. runs the ground.
The site is intended for natural burials and is in a rural setting. It won the 2015 Cemetery of the Year award in the 2015 Good Funeral Awards.
