The park like cemetery is a beautiful backdrop for Caroline’s stories of Chester’s past. She puts the history of the city on a human scale and makes it relevant using information about the lives of individuals who once lived there. There are politicians, business people, children, firemen, sailors and ordinary folk - who have lived their long-ago lives in Chester. The twenty minute walk from the centre of town to the cemetery crosses the river and winds along a path that follows the bank. It’s a beautiful walk and the tour is a lovely quiet way to spend the late afternoon.

Fascinating tour, well worth going on. Guide had a great knowledge of the graveyard and 'occupants' and brought to life the ones who had contributed to the City.

The tour guide listened to my story about my relatives in the cemetery and incorporated into the tour.

This is a lovely old cemetery with lots of stories of previous Chester residents. The stories have been lovingly culled and researched. It's such a shame the grounds themself are not as lovingly cared for. Grass and dandelions were a foot high off the paths and where we repeatedly walked to get to tombstones. Don't wear shorts and sandals.

In the past couple of months the UPW staff have done a great job clearing brambles nettles and other undergrowth. Most parts of the cemetery are now easily accessible - but its a never ending challenge keeping it that way!
