Eastwood New Cemetery

A walk at Thornliebank train station.

Rudy at Eastwood New CemeteryThe first burial took place at Eastwood New Cemetery in 1911 - it's only "new" besides the original Eastwood cemetery across the road. More than a hundred years later the trees are mature and the graves weathered.
Eastwood New CemeteryRudy likes the change of pace a graveyard walk gives. There's usually fewer people and more small animal wildlife smells than formal parks. Eastwood New Cemetery isn't as exposed as larger graveyards so it's mature trees and moss-covered markers deaden the city sounds making it a very calm place to visit.
We didn't spend too long here as Rudy hinted that he had other "business" to take care of not appropriate for a graveyard - lucky our next park is less than five minutes away :)

January 2022Eastwood New Cemetery is right next to Thornliebank station - it's northern edge is the railway boundary. The paths are mostly good but the many mature trees mean leaves build up and may become slippery in wet weather. Signs at the entrance confirm dogs are allowed to visit under close short-lead control. There are a couple of benches to sit in peace.Story updated 2025-01-05.
