Prior Park Landscape Garden

Garden designed in the 18th century by the poet Alexander Pope and the landscape gardener Capability Brown, which is now owned by the National Trust. The garden is located in a sweeping valley where visitors can enjoy stunning views of Bath. In addition to woodlands and meadows, visitors can discover hidden architecture from the garden’s Georgian past including a ruined thatched cottage and ice house, a reconstructed summerhouse and the footprint of a gothic temple. One of only four Palladian bridges of this design in the world can be crossed at the bottom of the valley.
