Reviews of Horsforth Japanese Gardens
"This is a great place to walk around. Hidden in a small corner of Horsforth Hall Park it is easily missed. Summer is when it is best to visit. The groundspeople keep it very well and kids love to investigate the pond area. It is normally very peaceful and offers a great way to experience flora that one wouldn't normally"
"A haven of tranquility. Very easy to find on google maps. A miniature japanese garden so many beautiful flowering shrubs & acers. A place of beauty & harmony. Great to spend time on your own or visit as family. There is a small free car park & the gardens are free entry which makes it worthwhile & lovely to visit. The blossom trees are in full bloom & give the gardens a glorious presence. There is birdsong everywhere & a small lake with lilly pads which attracts wildlife. The azelea bushes once in full flower will add so much color. A pleasure to visit & while away the afternoon & enjoy peaceful surroundings❤️❤️❤️"
"Really lovely place for a wonder, beautiful flowers and gardens and wild meadow-y sections. A great place to see dogs and there's a cool skate park too. The Japanese gardens are small, but lovely. Right now there's no waterfall which is a shame, but it's still a lovely spot."
"It has only just reopened and was incredibly peaceful when I visited. I have a feeling more colours and blooms will come through which should make it look amazing. One disappointing thing was the litter in and around the waterfall. I avoided showing this in my photos obviously!"
"A little bit of tranquility in horsforth Hall Park. A bit of respite for thirsty dogs, a good place to watch the carp in the pond rise. Some beautiful specimen plants and unusual windows in this walled garden. It's not large, but packs a lot in!"
