This park is a sheer delight, especially on a sunny summers day in Canterbury when you can lie out on a blanket and have a picnic. It is very popular on such days but fear not, there is always space for one more. The park is easily accessed from the Westgate Towers, where there is a carpark and there is... More

Lovely gardens and a great place to have a picnic, walk through them and carry on under the railway bridge and you come to an even older railway bridge and broad open fields. The gardens themselves are very well kept and in summer me and friends often go down with a beer or two and paddle in the river ! More

The Westgate Gardens are well kept and very nice in general, take some bread to feed the ducks and special brew for the tramps. If the Council could sort out the Bums, this would be a lovely place to relax and walk! More
