Cholera Monument Grounds and Clay Wood, Memorial park and listed garden in Sheffield, England

The Cholera Monument Grounds feature a tall neo-Gothic pinnacle monument, surrounded by pleasure gardens and Clay Wood, covering 1.73 hectares of elevated land.

The burial ground contains the remains of 402 Sheffield residents who died during the cholera epidemic of 1832, leading to the monument construction in 1835.

The park incorporates a clay cobbled mound art installation from 2004, commemorating the victims through interpretative panels that detail the epidemic's impact.

Three entrances provide access to the grounds: from Claywood Road, Norfolk Road, and Shrewsbury Road, with the site located 20 minutes walking distance from Sheffield center.

Clay Wood contains primarily sycamore trees alongside beech, sweet chestnut, and ash, forming a mature woodland that has developed over 130 years.
