Heptonstall Things to Do: 6 reviews and 20 photos

 
 

I guess this is only something for fans of Sylvia Plath - it's a matter of what it gives you to visit someone's grave (I certainly don't approve of cults around graves where graves are either worshipped or smeared). Like when I went to the Ingalls graveside in South Dakota, I guess it makes me think about the person all the more in depth, feel that they truly existed.
Plat's gravestone kept having to be replaced since extremist fans of her kept erasing the "Hughes" from it.

Address: Heptonstall graveyard
