Reviews of Castle Gardens

P. H.

Squirrels, rats and swans to see in the open area. Lovely little green area. Places to sit too. Recommend for 2 to 5-year olds for exploring (some information boards too) 3 hour street parking near by, at a cost.

C. G.

A very beautiful place, quiet in nature. A place where you can relax in your free time or whenever you need a getaway in nature or when you go out with children or your pet.

K. V.

Nice little garden by the canal, very friendly squirrels and robins. Do walk up the motte for some information about the old keep and a half decent view.

C. D.

I like the way new flowers bloom every week. Amazing place to relax and have a little break.

M. A.

One of the favourite places to have some peaceful time in Leicester. The view and the greenery makes me so calm and soothed. An incredibly lovely place

S. L.

Lovely little place, lots of shade in the summer and multiple entrances/exits. Can be busier in hot weather but surprisingly isn’t a very popular location and I’ve always found there’s enough space for me to walk peacefully and have a sit down You can get to the riverside from here too, if you’re jogging or going for an extended walk, but the swans are conditioned to be fed by visitors so they might follow you LOL As of June 2021, the sign says it closes @ 8pm. I’m not sure if it’s true, as I’ve never been past 6pm. It does usually close early in October though (4:30pm ?) Lots of benches if you’re looking to take a rest. But there can be a lot of bugs obviously, so not a great place to eat IMO. Nice place to walk pets, it’s a No Fouling area and there are a lot of bins, so absolutely no excuse if you don’t pickup after your pet!! EDIT: I spoke to a maintenance man who says they aim to CLOSE AN HOUR BEFORE SUNSET because there’s no lights in the garden! So in the warmer months it closes later (between 6-8pm) but in the winter it closes early @ 4-6pm!! I went @ 7:30pm on June 7th 2021 and it was open, so definitely closing at 8pm for now.

S. A.

Beautiful place to go and take the family. I really enjoyed the river side festival that was their last week.

R. A.

It's a pleasant park just outside the city centre by the river soar. Nice for a walk or escape the bustle

E. M.

My favourite for a city walk. Nestled into the city centre this garden is situated by the canal and is rich in local history. Its a lovely stop off for some time out of a busy day.

R. S.

Within the immediate city centre of Leicester, Castle Gardens are a real gem. Whilst the gardens have changed over the years, mainly due to financial constraints, they still warrant a visit. Many who work nearby, as I used to, visit during their lunchtime. Though bringing your own food and drink is required. Formal flower beds can be found alongside informal boarders. There is also some limited seating. The two ponds are now wetland habitats. The 'motte ' of the original Norman Castle is also close, obviously the reason for the gardens name. So space is available for ball games, but is limited.

R. L.

Great little park in the centre of town. Surrounded by Historic places of interest. The gardens are very well tended. 😈

Y. K.

Beautiful garden situated in the middle of town with a peaceful atmosphere ,

L. M.

A beautiful place to visit and walk through. I often visit to take photographs.

b. r.

Walking over to the citycentre from Tesco, we passed through the Castle Gardens, next to the canal. Pretty canalside gardens, with lots to see and explore. Lots of benches and info signs. Highly recommemded.

D. U.

This is the best place during winter and Autum just next to soar river and DMU... for more information please watch my YouTube channel

M. D.

Beautiful park with a full bloom, picturesque canal!

D. S.

Attractive small park alongside the river. Cities need more places like this.

P. J.

Nice gardens with views of the canal and also Leicester Castle and the Motte. Well kept with good planting and wildlife, such as squirrels, birds in the trees and swans on the Canal - Not far from the city centre.

S. K.

I like the history and there are points of info during your visit. I enjoyed the walk up the steps to the top of the mound where they used to play cricket! It's a lovely view from there I recommend people to visit. Even if they aren't into the history it's a lovely place to have a walk!!

A. R.

Nice garden for a walk with kids

T. S.

Had a great stroll through this 'pocket' park by the river. Lots of information boards and the castle mound was open. Very busy, but still a little bit of a hidden gem for leicester. Very close to De Montfort Uni Csmpus so well used by students.

A. R.

Beautiful, calming and relaxing

J. D.

It's a nice park with several themed area's, it clearly had some thought put into its design, the Oriental area, zen garden, willow tree,and bridge are all highlights. In short a nice bit of nature not too much of a trek away, plus bonfire night and a few other events are there with some food and ice cream vans to keep you fueled for a day out if any of the reasons above attract you.

M. T.

A lovely green space alongside the canal, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Castle Gardens is a peaceful green space beside the Grand Union Canal in Leicester. The gardens are the ideal place to stroll amongst beautiful flowerbeds and lawn, rest your feet on a bench or enjoy a picnic overlooking the canal. The park is well-accessible by public transport. It is a small but beautiful park which has good views of the canal.

H. T.

A little gem on the fringe of the city, groomed by a council that cares. Enjoy this escape from the sounds of the city sit on a bench for a lunch time snack, or go for a historic meander up the mound. I've often seen this idillic space used for wedding photography.
