A GUIDED walk has been arranged around York Cemetery, one of the city's biggest and most spectacular conservation areas.

The two-hour guided walk will start with a brief introduction to the cemetery then take in several areas of interest, including the flowering butterfly walk and the exotic fernery.

It finishes in the chapel with a free cup of tea or coffee.

The walk will be on Sunday, May 25, from 2pm, and there will be a charge of £2 each for adults, £1 for children. Meet at the cemetery gatehouse.

For more details phone warden Vanessa Temple on 01904 610578.
