Blake Gardens, Bridgwater

Blake Gardens is in a prime location in Bridgwater Town Centre near Bridgwater Library and Blake Museum. It is a good surviving example of a simple municipal garden from the late Victorian/Edwardian period. The Public Gardens were opened on 9th August 1902 as part of the town’s coronation celebrations.

The gardens feature a bandstand, seating, large areas of open space and formal bed planting. Dogs must be kept on leads at all times.
