Bolton Street Cemetery - Wellington Central
About Bolton Street Cemetery
Truby King had a knack for gardening. The collections of pines, roses, rhododendrons, and azaleas were planted in the 1920s by Sir Truby King himself, with some still flourishing today. You can still find pines and macrocarpas planted by Truby King around the estate. Beautiful cherry trees line the drive around the house.
Wellington City Council is working towards restoring the eclectic planting style of the original garden.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cool cemetery nestled under the freeway. Interesting history. We did it as part of Botanical Garden returning to the city.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A surprisingly pleasant walk in the dead centre of Wellington. Highly recommend the informative guided tours that are periodically offered by the council volunteers. Great place to bury yourself in the city’s early history for an afternoon

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautifully laid graves dating back more than 100 years. Have a peaceful and solemn walk along the gravestones and nearby trees. Do not bring your superstitious mom along the walk.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An incredible place to contemplate death and the past. History is very much alive in this cemetery that tells its story on each headstone. If you enjoy introspection and thoughtfulness, you should definitely visit this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really old headstones, some pioneers of new Zealand. Worth a visit if you're interested in NZ historical grave sites.
This is right in the heart of Wellington CBD

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An enjoyable walk through the cemetery above the city. Just 10-15 minutes walk from the docks and parliament buildings. Well set up and information leaflets available at the top entrance giving information on the numbered posts throughout the cemetery letting you know who is here. Can you find who reached 101!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally we found Jane Morshead (Symons -Wright) 150 year old grave and gardened for two hours! She was a 1841 pioneer and her home was Goathurst Farm where Brooklyn School is today. Jane’s first husband James Symons drowned in the Otaki River. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all find a grave to care for?
