Burial Grounds to Inspire

We are pulling together a selection of burial grounds from across the UK which we would recommend visiting if you are looking for a well managed site rich in wildlife and heritage.

All the sites listed here contain flower rich grassland. To see the flowers at their best, late May to mid or end of July is usually the most suitable time to visit. However do contact the site managers for more specific timings before you visit if this is important to you.

This list will be regularly updated. We would love to hear from you if you have enjoyed visiting any of the burial sites or if you have any recommendations of sites that could be featured.

Covid 19 Update – Due to the current situation you may find some churches and facilities are closed.
