Nice place to have a short walk around - take in the sights of the old mill, walk along the river and stop for a coffee. A lot of pigeons and ducks. Free parking which is a bonus, or at least when we went. Nice to see staff/volunteers keeping the place tidy/presentable.
Beautiful place! So, so beautiful! The wildlife is breathtaking! I don’t know who takes care of the gardens, but they are very beautiful! I was surprised to read that it’s part of the UNESCO’s heritage list. The mill building is so impressive too! It still looks well, but it might be better looked after. I would love visiting it inside. I loved the children’s enclosure too. There are toilets, parking and a cosy coffee shop. Everything you could need for a great family day!
Nice Victorian era park looking better after some recent & much needed renovations. Well designed children's play area & cute, if pricey cafe too. As a suggestion perhaps leave off giving the ducks bread as it does them harm & creates a mess.
A lovely place for a nice relaxing amble to gather your scattered wits. The river derwent water level is at an all time low,definitely not the time for a swim! A charming cafe facility on site that is not too expensive. Children’s play area with lots of apparatus .
A small, well kept, quiet gardens with water features and waterbirds, plus the usual flock of pigeons. Play area and cafe at far end. Car park was 90p for an hour, with plenty of space.
Considering its mid Feb I thought this place was excellent. The surrounding river had the remains of flood detritus trees and branches which was actually enhancing especially for the birdlife. We will be returning in the summer.
Very tranquil, well maintained and beautiful garden with period bandstand. Close to Belper town centre and the historic East Mill. Part of the historic Belper Town Trail
I am a local photographer and this is one of my most favourite haunts. Its somewhere I always suggest to my clients as a location for family, pet or even wedding preshoots. I have even done a wedding shoot here. Stunning grounds, very well kept!
Great Location for a Picnic. Take a folding Chair as the Geese make a mess of the grass. Lovely view of the river. well worth parking in Field Lane car park as well and taking a walk up King street. Parking is reasonably priced and on the flat. A tree lined path at the side of Poundland takes you out into the Pedestranized King street. Great varaiety of cafes and shops. Turn left up the hill and on the right you will find the Memorial Gardens. Filled with a great flower display . See Photos
