About
Victorian gardens running down the cliff from Spa Bridge to Holbeck, with terraced walks, woodland slopes and views over South Bay. Highlights include the Italian Gardens with their lily pond, the rose garden, historic shelters and the star map. The gardens were restored in 2023 with an accessible path and a new playground.
