Jephson Gardens

Lovely place having an activity foe everyone. You can walk along dozens types of trees, have a kayaking of a pedalling boat across the river, stop for memorable picture between colorful flowers or have a coffee / ice cream with a view. Recommended

Great place for a picnic and a family day out. Lovely gardens with a fountain and also chance to ride on a boat along the river. A walking suspension bridge to access the play area and the boat hire place. Easy access to a car park too at Rossfield street.

Award winning Victorian Gardens, plus a coffee shop, sensory garden, a hothouse and events restaurant, a lake, monuments,a boating lake, ancient trees. Changing colourful flower beds . So picturesque. Art in the Park exhibition etc. Years ago the very lovely Victorian gardens used to hold a fantastic light-show. Thousands of people used travel by coach to visit. This year a small laser light show and an exhibition in the Parish Church, marked the past exotic, extravaganza. Leamington Spa is a great place to visit. Over 200 restaurants and coffee shops. Voted friendliest place to live in England several times. I've lived here for nearly 40 years. And yes, it truly is an exciting place.

Such a beautiful park in the heart of Royal Leamington Spa. Well kept gardens with floral displays and gorgeous mature trees. Lovely lake with an array of water birds. To top it off there's a lovely cafe that has great coffee and nice nibbles. Plus, toilets nearby.

Lovely park. Lovely bridge. Sensory gardens. Good wheelchair access. Nearby pay n display parking on road (free for disabled badge holders). Lots of benches. Great picnic spot. Highly recommend. Toilets in need of improvement.

Huge, well maintained public garden includes green house garden aka Glass house as well. Surprisingly, never visited before despite in a way everyday..and my chance or serendipity took to this excellent public place..backside is Mills Bridge another epic small cute vintage one which connect to road on back.

This place is very busy with flowers, statues, stones and all kinds of remembrance buildings, so it makes it a very interesting place with a lot of content and trees you won’t see in every green space near by. It’s well kept, has a cute cafe, decent toilets and it’s a good size for a little run or good stroll. Lots of bistro and signs up everywhere but some statues had nothing on them. It’s clearly a place where locals come to feed the ducks/birds etc but they are giving bread which is bad for them, so that should be monitored or there should be a pellet dispenser that gives their correct food.

Stunning park with lots of beautiful plants and flowers. Free entry to glass house to admire the beauty of a few exotic plants. Great park to relive the stress after a day in court))

These are some of the loveliest gardens I've ever seen. Wandered around here on a warm spring evening, there are many works of art, fountains, and memorials to local dignitaries. The flower displays are beautiful, all the trees are labelled with information. The river boarders one side of the gardens, and is very attractive. There is a cafe houses in a hot house within the gardens, and lakes. Locals know what a gem them have, and use it

I like these gardens and as a local (ish) resident for over twenty years I probably haven't made enough of them, however I think that says something in itself. I am not particularly overawed by the part - it is lovely, but that is about it. While the new cafe is nice, I think it is far too overpriced, especially for what you are getting and while it may be worth it for a one off visit, I wouldn't choose to visit on a regular basis.

I probably shouldn't have visited on a bank holiday knowing it would rain all day! Still, it was nice in the garden despite getting soaked. It's very pretty and spacious. I liked the fact that my son could run about without me worrying that I wouldn't see him if he went too far. We also visited the temperate house which was nice. It's very small but I thought it was something unusual and gave us a little shelter for a while. We sat for a picnic under a shelter. That was good because it kept us dry but it wasn't very clean in the shelter. That, if anything, would be the one thing which I would say lets the place down.I think, if we had gone in better weather, we could easily have spent the whole day there. We did spend a good couple of hours looking at the flowers, wildlife, etc.I would definitely recommend this for people who like the outdoors. I also liked that there were other things there like the temperate house. There are also toilets in the gardens (which is always handy), there is a cafe (The Aviary) which is quite small but nice enough. We had a hot drink in there which were about average price. I think I paid just over £7 for two teas and two hot chocolates. There is also a restaurant called The Restaurant in the Park but we didn't go in there. Perhaps we will do another time. And the Pump Rooms (which include include a library and art gallery) are just across from the main entrance of the Gardens so that's another thing to do on a rainy day!On better days, there are boats available for hire. Unfortunately they were not available when we went due to the weather.Definitely somewhere I would go again.

Jephson Gardens is a small, Victorian park. Although it does have some open green space at the Willes Road end (where the signs saying 'No Ball Games' are entirely ignored by everyone, nobody minds a bit of a kick about), it largely consists of well-tended flower beds. These always look immaculate, the gardening team work very hard and the beds are only ever bare for a day or so as they change over. There is a pond at the Parade end, home to lots of Canada Geese, a million pigeons and a few ducks - all of whom are after the bread fed by the town's children. There are 2 places to eat and drink - the small Aviary, and a larger Restaurant, which is also attached to a hothouse of more tropical plants. There are sometimes jazz bands playing outside in the summer, and you can more or less guarantee there will be ice cream vans at the two main entrances. A very busy place in the summer and a lovely place to hang out. Which is probably why there are so many memorial benches about the place
