The Dead Center of St Albans.

Great cemetery to visit, especially at night. Fantastic selection of bodies and skeletons etc but you do have to bring your own shovel.

A peaceful cemetery off the busy and increasingly gentrified Hatfield Road. Some interesting headstones, a war memorial and military graves. There isn't access to the Alban Way unfortunately, but the cemetery is certainly worth a respectful visit in its own right.

This very large cemetery holds the remains of 30,000 people. It is also the important site of many Commonwealth War Graves. To quote: During the First World War, the County of Middlesex War Hospital was established in the Middlesex Mental Hospital at Napsbury, near St. Albans, and from 1914 to March 1915 the city of St. Albans was the Headquarters of the 47th London Division. The Second World War saw the Hill End Hospital, St. Albans, taken over by the Military authorities, and service war burials were carried out from this hospital. There are 147 First World War burials in Hatfield Road Cemetery, 93 of them forming a war graves plot. Some of the 79 Second World War graves form a separate plot. The rest of the graves are scattered throughout the cemetery. The grounds of this cemetery are very well maintained and its a lovely, peaceful respite from the hustle & bustle of life! PS. There are also public toilets (including disabled toilets) next to the Chapel. Very useful in these Covid days when everything is shut!
