Prior Park Landscape Garden was created by local entrepeneur and philanthropist Ralph Allen and is set in a sweeping valley with magnificent views of the city of Bath. Interesting features include an 18th-century Palladian bridge and three lakes.
Just five minutes from the gardens there is a six-mile walk, Bath Skyline, that encircles the city, passing through woodland, meadows, an Iron-Age hill fort, Roman settlements and 18th-century follies, offering some great views.
Please note: the gardens can be visited all year round, but only at weekends from November to February.
