点评:My husband and I and my two teenagers joined a highlights tour today. Our tour guide Peter was excellent. He told us lots of fascinating histories and backgrounds about the cemetery and the people buried there.
I love the Victorian Gothic architecture in the west cemetery. The Egyptian Avenue, the Circle of Lebanon and the catacombs are impressive. The woodland growing around the architecture adds to the atmosphere beautifully.
I love how quiet the place is. It’s not overrun with tourists even on a Saturday afternoon in August. It’s lovely to walk around among the trees, to admire the architecture, enjoy the peace and visit the graves of some of the famous names in there.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in architecture, history and walking. We got off the London overground at Upper Holloway station and walked via the Waterlow Park to get to the cemetery.
翻译:今天,我和丈夫以及两个十几岁的孩子一起参加了一场观光游。我们的导游彼得非常出色,他向我们讲述了许多关于这座墓地以及埋葬于此的人们的有趣历史和背景故事。
我钟爱西墓地里那些维多利亚哥特式建筑。埃及大道、黎巴嫩圆环以及地下墓穴都令人印象深刻。建筑周围茂密的树林更是为这里增添了迷人的氛围。
我喜欢这里的宁静氛围。即便是在八月的某个周六下午,这里也并没有挤满游客。漫步在树木之间,欣赏建筑风格,享受这份宁静,还可以拜谒园内一些名人的坟墓,真是惬意无比。
我极力向所有对建筑、历史以及散步感兴趣的人推荐此处。我们从伦敦地上铁的上霍洛威站下车,途经沃特洛公园后便抵达了墓地。
