Prior Park Garden is an 18th century landscape garden run by the National Trust.
Here are some pictures from a little walk around it on a Springtime Sunday afternoon.
It famously sits on the steep slope below the grand mansion that was built as a model for the Georgian town of Bath, which it now looks down on.

| Primroses and violets |

| Wild garlic in bloom - this is the main ground cover and comes complete with the scent of garlic! |
