Friar’s Bush Graveyard is thought to be Belfast’s oldest Christian burial ground, possibly dating back to pre-Christian times. It also contains the mass grave of hundreds of victims of Belfast’s cholera epidemics. Although burials no longer take place in the cemetery, it is a recognised historical site and open for viewing by appointment only. Enter the graveyard through the arched gothic gate lodge, built by the Marquis of Donegall in 1828.
