Bath Abbey Cemetery, Victorian cemetery at Widcombe, Bath, England
Located on a three-hectare hillside, Bath Abbey Cemetery features winding paths through mature trees, including copper beech, oak, and redwood specimens.
The cemetery, designed by landscape architect John Claudius Loudon, opened in 1844 to address burial space limitations at Bath Abbey's main building.
Many ornate monuments and gravestones within the cemetery demonstrate the skills of Samuel Rogers, who worked as both a sexton and successful monument maker.
The cemetery grounds remain accessible through a wooden gate at the north corner, reached via a 15-minute walk from Bath city center.
The Crimean War Memorial, erected in 1856, stands as one of few monuments from that era honoring both military officers and regular soldiers.
