Scarborough Cemetery and the top of Peasholm park

A few months ago I went to Scarborough  to meet a friend for lunch and Vic came with me on the train then went for a walk until it was time for us to meet up and go back home. He told me that he had really enjoyed the walk and did say he had cut through a cemetery and that he would take me there some day.

When got to the gates on the very busy road it looked just like any other cemetery but it certainly wasn't as you will see from the photographs. There are grave stones in allsorts of places and many have no space between them at all. The ones I looked at were Victorian and I didn't see any newer ones though we didn't look at the whole of cemetery as it would have taken all day just to walk around the many paths. How much history is written on the stones and you learn about the lives of the people buried there and their families. I hope we go back in all the seasons as the tree are well over a hundred years old I would imagine and are so beautiful.

This is where there are several paths to chose from in the cemetery and we chose the one that leads to the very top end of Peasholm Park which is marked by the lily pond. Any photographs after this one are in on the way down to the 'real' part of the park which is on other pages.
