Until now I've never relived the excitement of strolling through the empty cemetery alone and with the sounds of birds, sticks snapping, the distant roar of London... Pure magic, captured in all its glory in real time... Thank you!

I lived adjacent to HG Cemetery in 1973 and frequently walked through it. Back then there was sadly a lot of open graves and general neglect, but thankfully these days the Friends of Highgate voluntary group are working selflessly to preserve this historical sacred site.

@francoisevitard5272 Жыл бұрын

Very nice walk in these two cemeteries. I prefer the first, the one to the west. It has a lot more charm than the other one which doesn't look like much with the tombs without order; I would say without dignity and without soul. The West Cemetery has a romantic character. I noticed a grave with a large dog lying at the foot of this grave. It softened me. It is quite possible that the West Cemetery is haunted, but by benevolent spirits. There are such places as the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Thank you WW for this long and certainly tiring walk.

It's run by volunteers and the only funding it gets is what you give at the gate, money is tight and is not helped by (insert appropriate swear words) who think it's cool/protest to do things to Marx's tomb which then has to be repaired or cleaned leaving less for the rest of the repairs and maintenance, I totally get that he's a devisive figure and some people really object but chain a damned protest banner up, not attack it with spray paint or hammers. The friends of Highgate cemetery are doing the best job they can with no local or government aid, they are utterly brilliant people who are saving this atmospheric spot from becoming yet more overpriced London housing! Good job ladies and gentlemen. If you go and take pictures for your KZfaq or Instagram etc, drop them a bit of cash on your way out, those likes depended on them!

@ds1868 3 жыл бұрын

@@mistywolf312 I spoke to one of the guides about this on my last visit. There is a financial constraint to the maintenance of the cemetery but there is a conscious decision to treat the area as a nature reserve so everything is maintained around this idea. Consequently the wildlife diversity here is quite incredible, more so jf you think this is located in North London which is not exactly the prettiest part of London. I know as this is where I was born and brought up. The main features though are conserved and looked after. The cemetary is in much better condition now than it was in previous decades. The days when schoolboys used to play football with the skulls of the dead are now long gone.

That’s an impressive cemetery. A lot of famous people buried there. Thanks for taking the time to show it to us. I like the wild look of it, rather than the usual pristine look of cemeteries. It was like walking in the forest, which I love doing, so I enjoyed that. Except instead of examining trees and mushrooms, we were looking at headstones and crypts. lol Many were so elaborate. Some even had little little snippets of how they died engraved on them. Poor little Edwin, drowned while bathing in (couldn’t make out where). Patrick Caulfield’s headstone, artistically arranged “D E A D”, ha. Great video, and perfect subject matter for this time of year. Now you have to go to a cemetery at night and film a really spooky walk. (I dare you!) 🎃

It was so touching to read that he was the 'Chief Mourner', walking behind the coffin as they made their way to the Cemetery and I pray that they were or shall be, one day reunited in heavenly places.🕊
