Traveler reviews
Tina Ingamells
★★★★★2 months agoLovely.. beautiful haven in busy Bath. Fab coffee close by. Great kiddies play area. Lush walk along the canal
Ian Hendricks
★★★★★3 months agoLovely spot for a peaceful walk just outside the busy centre of Bath. Sydney Gardens has beautiful green space, a bit of history, and a relaxing atmosphere - perfect for a quiet break, walking your dog, watching the trains pass under the age old foot bridge and it even has a superb children’s play ground. It is adjacent to the Holburne Museum and Cafe.
