Undercliffe Cemetery

I went on a tour around the cemetery ran by the volunteers. The volunteers were informative, helpful and their passion for the heritage and preservation of the grounds is amazing. I look forward to attending another tour next year.

I love everything about this place. I appreciate that a cemetery may not be for everyone but if architecture and local history is of interest then this relatively unique place has it in spades.

An incredible walk through Bradfords history, rich in ornate, towering headstones and well kept and maintained. The undercliffe cemetery charity have done itself proud in how they have created a history trail with informative Q codes and poster boards. So much better than I expected. Very atmospheric as it stands overlooking Bradford and no wonder it has been used time and time again by film and TV crews and featured in A A Dhands Harry Virdee books. A must see to appreciate how Bradford helped shape Britain and beyond and to understand how great the city used to be.

A beautiful graveyard, really well kept and some really rare and interesting graves me and my partner haven’t seen. A must see!!

Undercliffe cemetery in Bradford is an incredible example of the Victorian obsession with death. This is not in any way to trivialise the grief and loss of a loved one, but Undercliffe cemetery shows the great divide even in Death between the rich and the poor. It is a stunning place to visit some of the monuments and Tombs are architecturally breathtaking, a fantastic monument to the stonemasons art and they must have been hugely expensive when built. A cemetery is on a hill with fantastic views over Bradford may seem an odd place to visit but it is well worth it.
