- emmamG9951NM5 contributionsOne of the best parks I have been toI loved the elephants, greenhouse, bees, cafe, sensory park and lots of places to run around for kids. The bridge views are amazing. The river leam is beautiful from that point. I can’t believe litter was seen in the river. Take your rubbish away please!!!Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten September 16, 2023
- DeuceWoooUnited Kingdom1,320 contributionsNot far from the Premier InnThere’s a bit of everything in this park, what with the fountains, river, ducks, swans, gardens, bridge, cafe, & the couple who exercise by running up & down the steps. I wasn’t sure if it was a comedy duo at first, as she ran down, he ran up. I don’t know what would’ve happened if someone wanted to use the steps. It was hilarious! 😆 Definitely worth a visit.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten December 20, 2023

Beautiful gardens with a bunch of wildlife to see! My 2-years-old daughter had so much fun playing with the pigeons and geese. I also love how they have the Glasshouse with lots of tropical plants collection. Lovely!

Rats everywhere in broad daylight - hate to think what it would be like after the sun goes down. They seem to be in the bushes, not just the one bush or the one rat!

Beautiful gardens, even in the rain. Only disappointment was that the glasshouse was shut for a private function. Guess we’ll just have to come back one day.

They were named in honour of Dr Henry Jephson, a famous doctor who had promoted the town as a spa. They were laid out between 1831 and 1846. The gardens began as farmland which belonged to Edward Willes, a member of the family who played an important part in the shaping Leamington.

Probably the best Local Authority ornamental gardens I have visited this century. They are beautifully laid out.
