Advantages: Haven For Wildlife, Tranquil, Lots Of History Disadvantages: Some May Consider A Little Bit Morbid
The City Road Cemetery in Sheffield may seem like an odd place to call an attraction but as the largest of the City?s Public Cemeteries it offers a vast area of open, recreation land, within an otherwise Urban area.
This Cemetery first opened in 1881 and it was originally known as Intake Cemetery since City Road, where it is located, was at that time known as Intake Road. Just to confuse things slightly there is now a different, much smaller Cemetery called Intake Cemetery, which can be found about a mile further out from the City Centre.
Initially the Cemetery was used only for Burials, but on the 24th April 1905 the first Cremation take place here, at the newly completed Crematorium. As the first Crematorium to be built in the City this created a lot of interest and those remembering the deceased did not only attend it, it was ...
Advantages: Tranquility, atmosphere Disadvantages: No facilities
Most people think it strange when I say that Highgate Cemetery is an afternoon out worth doing. After all it is just a graveyard isn't it?!
The cemetery was opened in 1839 and currently has over 150,000 people buried in over 50,000 graves. It is divided into two parts - the older West Cemetery and the newer East cemetery. In its Victorian heyday up to 29 gardeners were employed to keep the grounds neat. However, as it filled up and the money dried up the cemetery became overgrown and in disrepair. In the 1970s the Friends of Highgate Cemetery became involved and as volunteers, preserved the cemetery and opened it for visitors.

Advantages: Great story, interesting Disadvantages: Is it true??
The Da Vinci Code is probably one of the most controversial books of the modern day. When it was released it caused a storm. The Da Vinci code was released in 2003.It was written by Dan Brown and was an international bestseller.The book has sold 80 million copies as of 2009 and has been translated into 44 language. Most people, I know me included always thought this was his first novel. However, his first novel was actually Angels and Demons which was released in 2000. I've read the book and really really enjoyed it. It's one of those books that I think keeps you mesmerised from beginning to end. I found it hard to put down. Of course, the subject matter is very controversial and although it is meant to be somewhat fictional I can see elements of truth in it.
The basic story features Robert Langdon, a professor of Symbology. He is ...
