I first spotted Ocklynge cemetery on the bus going along the main road in to Eastbourne. It looked liked quite a large cemetery, and on investigating I found a huge area full of beautiful old carvings, in a beautiful setting on the side of a giant hill, that allows for some beautiful views. It is a little out of the way, even if your in Eastbourne it’s a bit of a walk from the town centre, but if you make the effort it is a great find.

The Jewish cemetery is located in the town of Hroznětín in the Karlovy Vary Region about 800 meters northwest of the city center. It probably existed already in the 15th century, since when Jewish settlement in Hroznětín is documented. It was destroyed during the Second World War . About 300 gravestones have been preserved on an area of 0.44 ha, the oldest of which date from 1684 and 1690. The cemetery is owned by the Jewish community in Karlovy Vary and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

Greenwood Cemetery open in 1869 after being converted from a farm, and covers 43 acres. It is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Benjamin Rush (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) lived on the farm in the late 1700s. Over the years, Greenwood's fortunes declined. The cemetery became a target for vandalism and many headstones were toppled and broken. Maintenance became sporadic and vegetation began to consume the cemetery. Only the front third of the cemetery is cleared enough to walk through unimpeded. The rear of the cemetery has reverted to forest with trees springing up through the middle of graves. It is not an unusual sight to see a headstone pinioned between two trees. The Knights of Pythias, upset over conditions at Greenwood, tried unsuccessfully to have their name removed from the cemetery. The court has appointed Gloria Boyd & Kevin Lynch custodians of the cemetery on a temporary basis. They are in charge of getting the grounds in repair and arranging burials. The decision on a permanent owner will be at a later date.
Hove Cemetery is one of Brighton and Hove's big 5, and my own local big cemetery, but is worth seeking out by any fan of cemeteries, or historical locations.
It's split in to two distinct sections, the north half being the more modern, with a more open layout. Not as much historic stuff, but still worth seeing, especially in spring and summer when much of the flora is at it‘s best.

Southwick is one of Brighton and Hove's big 5, although it is slightly outside the City of Brighton and Hove itself, actually being in (as the name suggests) the borough of Southwick in the neighbouring town of Shoreham.
Set in a large area on the side of a hill it has some historical features, but is most notable for the amazing collection of memorial stones and some of the most beautifully decorated modern graves in the area.
