- A walk around the West Cemetery of Highgate. Filmed in April and June 2014, and takes in most of the monuments restored/repaired under the restoration programme of 2010-2014. And some that were not repaired!

Highgate Cemetery Hi just watching your beautiful video, I was wondering where this certainly was at ,and how old ? Thank you for sharing God bless you , I'm from Canada. ❤️
Highgate opened in May 1839 with the first interment of Elizabeth Jackson. It situated on Swains Lane, Highgate, London, N6 6PJ. It comprises two cemeteries, the West was the above mentioned in 1839 followed by the East in 1854. The main entrances sit directly opposite one another. The movie is solely of the West cemetery and this is accessible only by guided tour. The East has an entrance fee but one is allowed to wander freely. All details can be found on the official website at highgatecemetery.org
@@heatherbowlan9822 hello Heather, Highgate Cemetery is located in Highgate, Swaines lane, London UK.
Why would anyone dislike this? Thank you for putting this up.
Does anyone else find this video calming?
Absolutely wonderful cemetery. Also you captured the beauty, history, and peace of Highgate perfectly. Awesome Job
I find it relaxing , love it
Not all the talking , I could set all day there listening to the birds
Thanks for the tour without music and commentary....just the sounds of nature,feels like Iam visiting there by myself!.. Love Highgate it's so Gothic and beautiful, I always wanted to visit the place!
Those are the actual sounds of the cemetery. So happy you enjoyed it.
Never in my life I would’ve thought I would one day want to visit a cemetery this much
Same
Absolutely beautiful, this is the way a cemetery should be filmed. Thank you!
This walk about tour of the cemetery grounds is simply beautiful. Very finely and exquisitely captured. ....made even more wonderful by the sound of nature in the Background.
From the main entrance to the exquisite Circle of Lebanon and all the minor alleys, this Cemetery is a real masterpiece. It is an open air museum of funeral arts. Thanks for sharing.
To me, Highgate is the most enigmatic, gorgeous, and historic of all renowned cemeteries I had been to. The West is my most favourite part.
Thank you for taking me back once more through this lovely video. Greetings from SEA!
Thank you for sharing this video. I've always wanted to visit Highgate Cemetery. I also find this video really relaxing.
Haunting and Beautiful. Beauty and art even in death. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the video,I love Highgate cemetery! Since childhood I always felt I belonged in the Victorian era.🌹
Me too had dreams of living in that era
Beautiful Highgate, I was lucky enough to visit in 1984, we had a brief tour and then were able to explore on our own. It was still being cleared up and a very cold damp day which added to its melancholy feel. The next time I went in 2010, we went on the tour, but it was quite short.
Very beautiful, peaceful cemetery.
And you filmed it very nice, with respect for the deads.
Thank you for sharing 💙
Peaceful and serene
Thank you so much...stunning video...like everyone said I love the actual sounds with no music or commentary. I have wanted to go here since I was 12 and fell in love with Hammer horror films. I am sharing this!..This is posted under my hubby's name I am Dina Dotson
Very nice. and no 'effin pseudo-music, just the birds singing. Thank you
So very beautiful wish I could visit but live too far away,wow all those carved tombs, talented work built to last
So pretty. Probably the coolest cemetery in the world.
Very beautiful video of a beautiful place. Im especially thankful you didn't use any background music. The birds are perfect!
Thank you. That is the actual sound of the cemetery
Love watching your videos, you let the sounds of nature very beautiful peaceful place
Thank you for your kind comment, it's very peaceful and relaxing in the cemetery. At the time I was annoyed my crunching footsteps could be heard, but it's been 10 years since I was last there, I quite like hearing them now.
Thank you to all of you who have contributed comments and have subscribed. Much appreciated
Highgate Cemetery Love it. It’s a lot like mount Jerome in dublin🤔
I find it mind boggling, the amount of money spent on building these sepulchres and tombs. Even allowing for the cost of labour back then, some of them must have cost as much, or more than a house, given that they're made of shaped and carved Portland stone, granite, marble etc, roofed in stone and designed to last for eternity. How much was an angel carved on your headstone? Or a sleeping lion? I suppose some of them must have been mass produced in some form, as I see angels bending over graves in other cemeteries, but that sleeping angel laying on a bed of tomb with all the ripples and folds like fabric. Unbelievable. The Victorian way of death indeed.
Thankyou for such an interesting and inspiring film.
I think the artisans who worked on them were very thankful for the work that enabled them to care for their families . I would like to know more about them.
The Beer mausoleum was built for, Ada Sophia Beer, who died at the age of 8 from Scarlet fever. Inside is a beautiful sculpture of an Angel enfolding her and raising her to heaven. Later Julius and other family members were laid to rest inside. Imagine what it would cost today to commission such a magnificent monument.
Absolutely stunning and spooky at the same time. Thank you, I enjoyed it very much.
Such a stunning place now its be cut back ,its on my to do list ,.... love the 📹, just hearing the sounds of the birds ,so peaceful
This video is amazing -- thank you so much! I used to visit often around 2002 and it was difficult enough to get the ladies to allow me to take a pic, never mind footage. Felt like i was taking a stroll with you. Love that you got up to Radclyffe Hall & Mabel B a couple of times..definitely very significant denizens. Thanks...X
Kala Trobe thank you. much appreciated
Gracias por compartir está visita de este cementerio qué es maravilloso y hermoso saludos desde Venezuela.
The vary first grave on the tour is James Selby, famous coachman and my great grandfather. I live in Australia now so it’s a very long way to visit him!
No music required works perfectly
I love Highgate Cemetery. Cannot wait to return some day. Stunning, thanks for video.
ani is
Thank you so much for this amazing well done video! I love old fancy cemeteries.
Thank you so much for sharing the very complete video of this historic cemetery.
My pleasure
Thank you for uploading this walk 👍🏻 💌
I did this fascinating tour a few years back, and the friends of the cemetery guide, who took us on the guided tour, were so full of amazing historical facts , also on the nature in the grounds and architecture of some amazing stonework, they were fantastic.
If you are ever visiting North London this is so very worth doing comfy walking boots a drink.... Time almost stops it is serene & tranquil.... With some history that's worth hearing and famous and not so famous people entered there 👊💪👄🤘💃🏻👓🎓🎩💍💼🍺⚽️🎾🏏🏊🏻🏇🎭🎤🎨🎹🎻⚓️🚂🛳📺📻🎙🎥📷☠ And after walk up the hill to a lovely warm pub 🤗🤓👍🏻
P.s not for the faint hearted as it can be quite graphic at times 🤔💀🙈
I had the pleasure of going on a guided tour of the West Cemetery in 2017, your film brought back happy memories of that day.Thank you
I visited Highgate cemetery back in the early 2000s, was a place I'd wanted to see for some time as it was featured in a few of my favourite hammer horror films. When I finally got to see the place I was rather shocked by the poor condition of some of the crypts and monuments, the place was also very overgrown with weeds and brambles.
I think the work of 'the friends of Highgate cemetery' must be highly commended, this place is looking fantastic and some of the repairs undertaken couldn't have been an easy task, well done.
noooooooooooooooooooooo its fine as it is
By far my favorite video to date!!!
Exceptional! Thank you!
Precioso! Me encantan los cementerios antiguos!
Beautiful cemetery ... my ancestor Stanislaw Worcell is buried here ... rest in peace
Adoro cemitérios antigos, quanto mais antigo mais eu gosto. Esse é belissimo, mas confesso que achei vc muito corajoso...entrar nas catacumbas, por corredores sombrios, e olhando os caixões expostos, tem que ter muita coragem. Um dia vou conhecer esse cemitério pessoalmente. Obrigada por postar.
Você não tem nada a temer dos mortos. Apenas os vivos podem te machucar.
Thank you for taking the time to do video this. I’m so interested in graveyards. Just saw one last week in Charleston.
I love graveyards but I'm told I'm weird n morbid I don't like them for morbidly, I love the history they give us .
Very well made.. it's as if you went there yourself and just recorded what you saw thank you for the video!
Thank you. That's exactly what happened. 👍
Thanks for this! One of the most beautiful (and creepy) places ive ever seen! I would love to visit it myself one day😯❤
Beautiful and wonderful ....such a lovely cemetery..
I have been there and it’s absolutely amazing and beautiful!
Wow, mixer feelings here, at one hand its marvelous, on the other is spooky as hell! I thought I was not superstitious but I would not wander here at night for sure!
The most beautiful cemetery in the world. That fox at the beginning says it all....
It's kind of sad that all these souls are here god bless them all
Awesome cemetery video 🪐
Thank you
Beautiful cemetery love The birds sounds calm and nice place
Wow beautiful cemetery would love to visit this place, so nice and calm, just listen to ^nature and
The birds 😍🙏😍🙏
I wish I could go back in our country in England together with my sister in law named Ate Alma...🎡
what an absolutely stunning place. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this very peaceful, relaxing tour
Amazing place perfectly done I want to visit myself now
Graveyards are haunted by the living.
Graveyards are to some; sacred... A place where reflection and contemplation can be afforded whilst remembering loved ones who have passed....
Sandra Nelson YES GRAVEYARDS ARE HAUNTED BY THE LIVING!!! THIS IS ONE PEACEFUL TOUR THAT I AM ENJOYING!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!!!!!
Sandra Nelson so true
But Highgate is the most haunted by its residents ... and damaged by time n vandals
Stunning. A world treasure.
Thank you beautiful
Thank you
I want to go on a tour of the West side, however I've been told it's a guided tour only, so no wandering?! Such a shame!
Thank you for beautiful tour🙏
Thank you for this great vid, I visited this part once but had to stay with the guided tour so didn't get to see all the spooky details such as the vaults. Amazing work! Thanks again for showing
Thank you, its a pleasure to share
Wat amazes me are those huge big tombstones how they were placed while so many graves around i keep askin myself how on earth was it possible to get it there upstairs to the grave it self and placed deep respect🙏🏻
Fascinante. ❤
Sou apaixonado por cemitérios.
Obrigado pelo vídeo.
🇧🇷
Fico feliz que tenha gostado.

It could just be "background" noise, but at different parts of the video, I could SWEAR I heard (in no particular order), a man screaming, moaning, faint laughter, and rattling chains. Beautiful cemetery, but definitely not a place I would want to be wandering around after dark!
Just beautiful on my to visit list one day
Such a beautiful place! Really have to visit!
Beautiful
Wonderful video looks very atmospheric and interesting plenty of interesting tombstones to see
Went there last year.
Wanted to go there for a long time
love the sound of the birds too
When I was 20, in 1999 I roamed these grounds,oh I wish to be 20 again
LoL Billy, you're not all that old now. I'm sure your rattley old 39 yr old bones could do it again.
Such a special age that. Very lost I was. But im only 27 so. ;P still very lost.
@@myfragilelilac
I roamed this cemetery in 1986 when I was 22. I will return in 2019 at 55.
@@jackmekauff3265 Sweet!!!! The 80s was the shit. Sadly I was born in 1990. 😂
Wow this is beautiful
Meey Bat thank you, I appreciate your comment very much
fbllxl5 It's such a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. I love cemeteries! I heard about this cemetery because of a vampire story. 😶
Recoleta in Argentina is even creepier!
I played Benedictus two cellos while watching this video clip ,,, it was a most moving experience.
think about this place 100 years ago, all you heard were birds, no jets flying over or sirens, still a beautiful place
Turkeydoodlers yes very beautiful placeL.
it so peace,beautiful place,i really want to be there
I was there in 2017 on a guidet Tour, amazing Place.
The epitome of human civilization was reached by our great Victorian forefathers, we are now nosediving into the abyss. They were lucky, they died not knowing that which they created would in time be destroyed.
Great job. Thank you.
Its beautiful yet eeire at the same time thank you for the video oh and do they have alot of paranormal activity here
Don't they have someone to keep up the grounds and cut the grass......or weeds!! What is wrong with the families of these people?! They should be outraged at the condition of the place! People paid a lot of money to have their family members buried there! And the coffins out in the open to be vandalized! Hard to believe that people no longer care about such things.
Maybe there are no longer family alive to tend the graves
This is what happens when no one alive knows or remembers those buried in graveyards. It happens to all old graveyards. A photographer here where I live visited graveyards all over the state and published a book. There are lots of old graveyards abandoned and in ruin, or moved to make room for the needs of the living. Good argument for cremation, although I used to love wandering through them, too.
It went banckrupt in 1975 and closed. Friends of Highgate formed. Left as ....
Thank you for posting this treasure
Awesome video of highgate cemetery it's a shame that some parts of it are overgrown and the whole place needs to be tidied up but a great video none the less thanks keep em coming
Thanks for the video !
Fascinant !
I like it very much you video. Congratulations.
Now that makes me cry of those poor people they had a good life (uses phantom) but the place is beautiful homes for the ghost and spirits
Visiting next Easter Monday 2018 and cannot wait
A lovely walk.
Were these crypts broken into because it looks like some have doors and others do not.
Gary Sweeney most at some point we’re broken into, but now have doors and locks. For the purpose of this video a few were left open and doors pinned back for ease of access with camera. If you have one crypt in particular which you refer to, places let me know whereabouts it is in the video.
Pues qué cripta tan hermosa fina y elegante dan ganas de vivir allí lejos de tanta bulla y maldad que diseño tan espectacular Me Encanta
Its worth noting that the filmmakers for Harry Potter and the goblet of fire used this cemetery as the inspiration for the little hangleton graveyard where voldemort is reborn
Yes. I was there the day they visited.
@@TheHighgatecemetery but you that was just a film set right?

Although the camera work and editing could be improved this is an impeccably well done video.
Says him with no videos
4:17 the tomb of a man that was involved in the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and the murder, torture of POWs, civilian men, women and children.
i think, especially right now, we shouldn’t remove people’s memorials. all history is valuable history.
