Churchyard of St-Peter-in Thanet, Broadstairs, Kent

Churchyard of St-Peter-in Thanet, Broadstairs, Kent 
Visited April 2019

I've visited this churchyard in autumn before, but in spring it is full of wildflowers, with the bluebells in particular in flower on this sunny Easter Saturday. Apart from dog-walkers, there was no-one around while I was there, and it's easily large enough to wander away from them, as they tend to stick to the main paths. 

The oldest part of the churchyard, nearest to the historic church, is the most fascinating for me, but there are also masses of 19th and 20th century graves, including a lot of war graves. Guided walks of the churchyard, either general or focused on war graves, are available in the summer.
