The eleven acres of public gardens provide an ideal setting for a gentle stroll along the banks of the River Stour, while the less energetic can sit back, unwind and absorb the tranquil beauty of the garden and its wildlife.
The meandering river provides the perfect environment for swans, ducks and moorhens to settle and raise their young. In the summer, the garden provides an ideal setting for open air events, exhibitions or as a picnic area for organised groups.
The site of the foundations of the London Gate of the Roman City of Canterbury (Durovernum Cantiancorum). Beside the River Stour and West Gate Tower in Canterbury these formal gardens have spectacular displays of flowers throughout the year. This site has been a public space since the Middle Ages, although late Iron Age and early Roman pottery has been found on the site.
