Arnos Vale Cemetery

Today was another wet and bleak day, but as usual that did not stop me from heading outside. Getting outside exploring is the one thing keeping me sane during this third lockdown. Arnos Vale is an interesting cemetery, it dates back to 1837 and includes lots of grade II listed monuments and buildings. It’s surrounded by about 42 acres of woodlands and was designed in the style of a Greek Necropolis. This cemetery was almost sold by the owner to be later developed into a housing estate, but, Bristol council stepped in and acquired it under compulsory purchase. It’s a pretty wild and interesting space, most noticeable was the amount of Ash trees suffering from disease and having to be chopped down. Another very interesting place to walk in Bristol.
