Princess Gardens

Gardens

"Princess Gardens, situated on the seafront, is an exotic place of colourful flower beds, an ornate fountain and lawns. The open expanse of the gardens is a great favourite, offering wonderful  views of the bay, the Pier and harbour. The garden was the first public park in Torbay and remains substantially unchanged since the resort was in its heyday. The layout of the flower beds follow the original fleur-de-lis design. Cordyline or Torbay Palms are an historic feature of the gardens as is the grade II-listed three-tier cast iron fountain which was restored and repainted to its original colour scheme in 2018."

Princess Gardens in Torquay is a lovely, well-maintained park, perfect for a relaxing visit. The park is open 24/7, so you can enjoy it any time. It features a beautiful fountain and is a great spot for both relaxation and for children to play. Many visitors appreciate its peaceful atmosphere and central location.

Nice garden overlooking the harbour. I was there in March, when it still was cold, but probably in summer it is a perfect place to walk and enjoy the views of the coast.

Beautiful, well kept gardens. Lovely for a walk or picnic especially in the nicer weather (such was the case when we were there).

What beautiful gardens right on the dockside. You can see a lot of effort is taken with the design and maintenance of this attraction. The grass is well cut and the flowers are in beautiful patterns. There is a lovely fountain in the middle too that still works. A joy to behold
