Among the interments at Bells Hill is Albert Edward Curtis (1866–1940), who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his rescue of a severely injured senior officer under heavy fire during the Second Boer War.

[5][6] The north-eastern part of the site has older monuments and is wooded with a variety of trees, including mature cedar and yew.

Wildflowers include common knapweed and lady's bedstraw, while brambles and roses climb the tombs in wilder areas.

Leading northwest from the central track are two narrow dead-end paths to the boundary with the Barnet Hospital campus.

There is no laid-out route connecting the ends of these paths, but it is easy to cross the short distance from one to the other to complete a walk without having to retrace one’s steps.
