The jewish cemetery Kronoberg in the central parts of Stockholm (located on the island Kungsholmen). Today its surrounded by houses and streets but a long time ago Kungsholmen was more of the countryside, have a look at this photo: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Begravningspl...
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.

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.
