It is quite a pleasant space, and locals go for a stroll there, or to walk the dog, possibly even for a short cut to the pub (the Cambridge Blue). The main paths are in good condition; others are a bit uneven. fetcheveryone.com/clubs-view.php?id=2691

Half of it has been left to become a nature reserve, carefully managed, and I have been known to have deer accompanying me in the winter! I would walk if there was a funeral going on but I've not seen one in the 14 years I've been running. I guess it depends on what sort of cemetery you have close to you.
