Old Church of England - St. David's Ridge
Driving Directions
(Good Luck!)

Provided from Eric Cottrell, via http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbstdavi/

From St. Stephens, take Route 1 east. Just before the Oak Bay Causeway there is a Route 755 exit off to the left. Take Route 755 a short distance and turn left onto Back Road (There is a sign "Ch Back Rd" on the right side of the road before the turn). A very short distance up Back Road there is a warning sign that the road turns to the right. The cemetery is on the left side of the road near the apex of the right turn. There is a house to the left just before the turn and that wooded patch that is after it is the cemetery! If you see a house numbered 24 on the right then stop, you have just gone by the cemetery. There is a drainage ditch running parallel to the road. The path into the cemetery is level with the road with a plastic pipe to let the drainage ditch water go under the path. As you walk in (about 15 to 30 feet), look over to your right and you should notice standing gravestones off in the woods. I would recommend jeans and long sleeves for this exercise (and bug repellant!).

There is a path going roughly down the middle of the cemetery but alot of stones are toward the outer edges. There are stone walls marking three of the boundaries (right, back, left). Searching can be difficult as there are trees everywhere and really only one "path". For GPS users the coordinates (WGS84 datum) are: Path at road end is at 45 degrees 13.849 minutes north and 67 degrees 11.699 minutes west.
