Strange in  the fact that it's quite near the centre of town. You might say its in  the dead centre. Really joyful place though.

So beautiful and serene, take a tour, it's just too large to be covered in one go. Love the epitaphs, very serene experience, just take a leisurely stroll through it if you want some quiet...

love this cemetery, wonderful customer service

Beautiful traditional cemetery, old graves, old styles.   Smell the history.....

Bit of a boring vibe not much action.

Quite fascinating to read the older headstones. Historical peaceful and quiet

Peaceful place for walking with some important historic graves which are easy to find using the information boards.

Greg Ham from men at work is buried here and some day I plan to  see his grave.
