The cemetery is perched on a hill in the centre of Kimberley, with wide-ranging views of the town and beyond, especially on a clear day. Beyond the far edge of the cemetery can be seen the local Sainsbury's, built on the site of the old Wolsey factory. Kimberley is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 as "Chinemarelie". The hills on the horizon are in Derbyshire.
