A magic walk through Abney Cemetery

Walk preview

Step 1: With no clue what this park would offer us we walked gallantly through the giant gates.

Step 2: We followed the long path, taking us deeper into the cemetery.

Step 3: At first we didn't notice them, then it dawned on us that they're everywhere. The graves and the headstones.

Step 4: With lovely trails through many different areas of the cemetery we wandered and explored, stunned by the beauty of this ancient place.

Step 5: We were reminded how nature really is amazing.

Step 6: A beautiful place, showing the balance of life and death.
