PEMBROKE MILITARY CEMETERY Malta
PEMBROKE MILITARY CEMETERY is located just off the north-east coastal road than runs from Msida through St. Andrews and to St. Paul's Bay, between St. Andrews and what was formerly St. Patrick's Barracks. It is approximately 2.5 kilometres away from St. Julian's Bay and about 8 kilometres away from St. Paul's Bay. The rear of the PEMBROKE MILITARY CEMETERY is clearly visible from this road. Once approaching St. Andrew's (high ridge) it is clearly sign posted.
A bus service normally runs close to the cemetery from both Valletta and St. Paul's Bay.
