Forming part of Stoke Park the original gardens were laid out in the 1800s. The Victorian style gardens contain seasonal bedding and landscaped areas with oriental themes, an award winning sensory garden, putting green and children's play area. There is also a boating pond, rock lined stream, paddling pool and Japanese shelter.

There is even a outdoor cafe for snacks and drinks should you really not want to bring your own - a fantastic free day out for all the family! Highly recommended.

Sorry forgot to mention that it also has the added bonus of being literally just across the road from the Spectrum Centre so should the best laid plans of mice and men fall prey to British Weather there is always the Swimming, Ice Skating, Bowling, Soft Play across the road to retreat into although you would have to pay for those of course.
