Prior Park Landscape Garden Houses
Created in the 18th century by local entrepreneur Ralph Allen, with advice from 'Capability' Brown and the poet Alexander Pope, the garden is set in a sweeping valley with magnificent views of the city of Bath. There are many interesting features, including the majestic Palladian bridge, one of only four in the world.
The Wilderness Project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, is the final phase of the restoration of the garden, reinstating the Serpentine Lake, Cascade and Cabinet.
A 5-minute walk from the garden leads onto the Bath Skyline, a 6-mile circular walk which encompasses woodlands, meadows, an Iron Age hill fort, Roman settlements, 18th-century follies and spectacular views. There is no direct access from the Skyline route to the garden.
Explore the recently restored 'Wilderness' area and pick up a family Tracker Pack to learn about the garden and its wildlife.
