St James's Cemetery is an urban park behind Liverpool Cathedral that is below ground level.

The southern entrance near Upper Parliament street is through a stone arch between the Garden Lodge and the steps up to the Mount.

Notable features include the Huskisson memorial, a natural spring and a system of broad ramps lined with catacombs.
