Disused Victorian Graveyard, Tavistock, Summer 2012

Andy Wipes · Dec 22, 2012

A visit to this lovely atmospheric old Cemetery made back in the Summer & before the Council had done their tidy-up; I prefer it when it isn't all strimmed back hard. The Headstones are of a distinctive local style & mostly in very good condition.

Beautiful! Stunning place. I love graveyards and I would just sit in there for hours. Thank you for the post.

Do you know what the oldest and most recent graves are?

Also would be interested in knowing this, those headstones look in very good condition!

I think it closed in late 19th Century but I will go & check. It's only just down the road.

Here's the information; not open very long. The new graveyard is pretty boring in comparison; I won't be taking any photos there!

Oh, it states NOT open to the public; untrue, it is!

Didn`t realise this was disused, I live pretty close and have driven/walked past this many times

Looks beautiful, why does it have to be so far away from me

What a great place.

I'm not sure you can have a "disused" graveyard . . . unless you dig all the bodies back up again

Isn't it sad to see these graves going untended and slowly collapsing. Such is life (or rather such is the lack of it!).

Nice one i remember seeing a graveyard posted once....... Dont know where it went though

I spend a lot of time wandering around cemeteries and graveyards - the main reason is they attract lots of wildlife and are great for photography.

Thanks for the post!
