A guided walk is to be held around York Cemetery, one of the city's biggest and most spectacular conservation areas.

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

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

The event will be held on Sunday, from 2pm. There will be a £2 charge for adults, and £1 for children.

Those interested are asked to meet at the cemetery gatehouse.
