On the opposite bank of the river Avon to Abbey Park these
linear gardens provide close access to the water along a paved
towpath. The park hosts various events in the year including a
mediaeval festival in early summer and the main river festival in
July. At the bridge end of the park the avenue of mature lime trees
is lit at night with purple and green uplighters which give a very
romantic mediterranean feel to the river frontage.
These gardens have been awarded Green Flag status in
2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12.
