Really interesting place to visit. deceptively vast with a lot of history packed in. it's really worth a visit if you're by the cathedral. the terrain is uneven, so those with mobility issues may have difficulty. the path gets very steep at points, so it will need to be on an individual's judgement. if you go to the top, you will get some lovely views.
One of the loveliest necropolis' i've come across. worth a trip just for the walk but also the amazing large and carved monuments. we spent about 30 minutes walking around and still didn't see all of it. would love to come back again one day.
Stunning and very remarkable. this place is an absolute must to visit in glasgow. it's located on the top of a steep hill just by side/behind of the cathedral. there are many interesting graves from different times, including tombstones and crypts. the view from the too is spectacular so even if not interested in the cemetery itself, the breathtaking views can definitely compensate the visitors for it. it's pretty much a 360° view, so the whole city and its peripheral areas are nicely visible. it's very unique, therefore i can only recommend visiting it.
The glasgow necropolis is a victorian cemetery which dates back to the year 1832. the cemetery, as most early victorian cemeteries, is laid out as an informal park further enhanced by the complex topography. the cemetery's paths meander uphill towards the summit, where the larger monuments stand, clustered around the john knox monument. a visit needed only if you have time at hand, the view of cathedral is picturesque.
Amazing place. good walk, with stunning views over glasgow and beyond. very popular with tourists and locals alike. impressive architecture and design. on street parking available. free parking on a sunday. will visit again as even a few hours is not enough to see everything. a million pictures wouldn't do it justice.
