One of the most delightful features of the Royal Victoria Park, the Botanical Gardens were formed in 1887 and within their 9 and a half acres is one of the finest collections of plants on limestone, certainly in the West Country.
Less than a mile from Bath City Centre, the gardens boast many choice trees, shrubs, a fine herbaceous border, a rock garden and pool, a scented walk, a collection of old shrub roses, and a replica of a Roman Temple (the City’s exhibit at the British Empire Exhibition held at Wembley in 1924). These are just a few of the many attractive and interesting features of the garden.
