What visitors say
Lovely lovey park! I enjoyed the walk and finally getting to see the see the Palladian Bridge (one of only four bridges of this specific design in the world!) The scenery was absolutely breathtaking! It was however a little hot when we visited and we really wanted to escape the heat so it was a quick visit.

A beautiful and peaceful escape just outside Bath 🥹 The landscapes are stunning, with lovely walking paths, serene lakeside views, and the iconic Palladian Bridge as the centerpiece. Tips: Bring sunscreen and water, especially on sunny days 🌞 The weather may feel mild, but the UV can be surprisingly strong, and much of the garden is exposed with limited shade. Comfortable walking shoes are also recommended. Highly recommended when visiting Bath! 🌿📸

Beautiful National Trust spot. Recommended to get the bus all the way up the hill, to where the entrance is, rather than driving, as there is no parking except on Sundays nearby. Once you’re there, guides help you to the best options, especially with strollers. We really enjoyed walking the loop and seeing the beauty of the Gardens at the slope. There is a lovely grassy area with shade near the café at the bottom, where we could enjoy a picnic with our kids. Highly recommended.
