Nottingham's Rock Cemetery that's described as 'eerily beautiful' in TripAdvisor reviews

The great and the poor have their final resting place at Nottingham's Church Cemetery. Even in death, money distinguishes the haves and have nots.

The tombstones of the wealthy bear huge crosses, stone angels, ornate decoration and loving inscriptions, a poignant contrast to the indistinguishable paupers' graves of babies, children and adults.

The sprawling cemetery covers 13 acres, bordering Mansfield Road, Forest Road and the Forest recreation ground - a busy location passed by thousands of cars daily but the further you walk into the cemetery and more you immerse yourself in the history, the buzz of the traffic is barely noticeable and the only sound is birdsong.
