Brookwood Cemetery now back into Public hands. What a makeover. The council have spent in excess of 750k for a whole new and regeneration of the landscape. The peaceful cemetery is now even more serene and lively place to gain knowledge of heritage and history. Lovely walkways in this historic of places. Reputed to be the biggest Cemetery in Europe, it has cemetery plots for many religions and denominations and also family vaults. All in all a very peaceful place.

Brookwood Cemetery is a beautiful Grade 1 listed site in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens located in the heart of Surrey. It is the largest cemetery in the United Kingdom and one of the largest in Europe. The 220 Acre park provides a picturesque, tranquil setting for visitors 365 days of the year. The grounds are divided into many smaller plots by a multitude of roads and avenues that boast magnificent trees and offer a wealth of flora and fauna as well as local heritage. Saw plenty squirrels and birds. The park is rich in architecture, ecology, horticulture and history. Loved the war Graves and all the mausoleums. It's very well looked after. There are public toilets available, clean and neat. Volunteers do a lot to help with the upkeep. Will need a day or two to get through the whole park.

If you ever wondered where all the graves went in those central London churchyards that were re-developed or turned into gardens they are most likely here in England's largest cemetery. There are impressive monuments testifying to their transportation and re-burial but no names or individual gravestones. They now only exist in records. This is the last resting place of many other Londoners who chose Brookwood's peaceful broad acres above the noise and impersonal surroundings of a local London burial. In the South Cemetery the original lowland heath habitat has been preserved. You will find no swathes of lawn here. Just expanses of heather and some of the tallest Wellingtonia trees to be found in the UK. Butterflies abound and deer are often seen. Impressive mausoleums of wealthier families are dotted around, some of them in poor condition but gradually being restored by the hard work of the friends and volunteers of the Cemetery who offer occasional guided tours describing its fascinating history and many famous occupants. This place is so vast it had its own railway station bringing the deceased direct from London Waterloo. All that is left today is a short section of preserved track. The North cemetery contains military burials that I have yet to explore. Set aside plenty of time to fully appreciate this place.

Historical cemetery under local municipal management catering to diverse religions, denominations and sects, World War memorials (I & II), American veterans and much more. Fell into neglect but now gaining attention of Woking Borough Councilors owing to constituency demands. This place has served well for nearly 150 years but needs a strategic plan for the next 150 years. Fascinating insight on how accommodating this cemetery has been to the religions of the world. It is a shame that a small number of locals walk their dogs inside the cemetery with wanton disregard of the posted signs.

Wheelchair friendly cemetery with lots of history and tradition. A place of interest is the military section which has various areas belonging to specific countries,America Poland Czech Republic etc.

Visit to Brookwood Military Cemetery to check out volunteering under the umbrella of the WGC very interesting & stimulating tour with one of the volunteer guides very moving .

Well maintained grounds. The sheer size and variety of the people and cultures in this place is fascinating, as is the history. Worth looking round if you live nearby.

A place for a tranquil walk and meditation. Beautiful settings very humbling.

I’ve been going there for years- the routes are amazing and I love the site. The dead people really add to the vibe of ‘old-people-and-their-dogs-going-on-a-walk’ But actually- it’s always quite lively, which is funny for a cemetery, but still there is always fresh air and great looks at nature. It’s always weird to see the contrast between there and the a-road right next to it.

Beautiful cemetery cum grounds. Well maintained and well looked after. Over 2,50,000 bodies are interred or buried here. Was once the largest cemetery in the world.

Lovely peaceful surroundings, tranquil and far removed from life's problems and stresses. Some very interesting graves here in such well kept grounds, the military section is absolutely outstanding.

Well kept beautiful gardens. Worth a visit for those interested in British History and want to pay respects.

Peaceful place! Time to reflect what's it all about. Historic too! Saw notable graves - Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Marmaduke!

Very helpful staff, well maintained and good keeping of records.

Atmospheric, peaceful and truly evocative Cemetery. The Military Cemetery is certainly an incredibly humbling experience.

A beautiful and endlessly fascinating cemetery.

Interesting👍
