Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol

Arnos Vale. A grand cemetery in Bristol, built in the mid-1800's. Why has so much of it gone back to nature? This place has a great story. Today, it is still a working cemetery, a public park, a very popular wedding venue and a community space. But it has so much natural beauty and wildlife, including great bats! A wonderful place to explore, see wildlife and find out about the cemetery, and Bristol’s, fascinating history. Above all, this is a pesticide-free safe space for wildlife in the city.
