★★★★★Edited 2 months agoExcellent and very well maintained garden. The gentleman who’s the groundskeeper did a wonderful job. Thank you so much 🙏. Great for family but no running around🤣

★★★★★a month agoLovely, picturesque attraction at small distance away(20 -25minutes walk )from hbf. It is not very busy, so you can take photos with ease. The open garden and river bank nearby are hotspot for peole taking dip in river, playing volleyball and football etc. in summer.
