Grundstücke und Gärten

Churchill Gardens is a large park which has the most spectacular views over the city of Hereford as well as the Welsh borderlands and is a short walking distance from Gardner Hall. It is an unspoilt and often quiet area to visit, with benches dotted about the gardens making it suitable for picnicking. There is a fragrant garden containing plants known for their aromatic traits and the mini arboretum is a popular place for casual strollers as well as dog walkers. There’s a car park nearby at Venns Lane.

Aylestone Park consists of three differing areas; for sports, for general recreation and for wildlife.  A network of footpaths winds throughout the site including disabled access to all parts.  The higher end of the Park provides beautiful views over Herefordshire, and has a superb viewing point and telescope installed, together with picnic tables and park seats strategically sited over the whole area.
