Popular Gardens in Rainhill

"A treasured monument and attraction in Warrington, Walton Hall is a Jacobean Revival mansion, built in the 1830s for Sir Gilbert Greenall, an MP who had a 45-year career at the House of Commons. The house has been owned by the council since 1941 and hosts chamber music concerts and can be hired out for weddings and other events. Immediately outside the house is a formal garden, while there are ample facilities for families in the park."

"A walk together in the outdoors is just the thing to keep this romantic day rolling. The Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens is an organic dream with a nature trail that winds through gardens and wooded areas. Visitors should investigate the botanical gardens and the old parsonage, which is historic and adds a picturesque quality to the scene."

"Just outside the city walls, in close proximity to the Chester Roman Amphitheatre and the Newgate is the Roman Gardens, built in 1949 by Graham Webster and Charles Greenwood with a view to exhibit the structure’s remains from the Roman Legionary Citadel of Deva, which include portions of some of the most significant military buildings, the headquarters, the main baths and general relics from the city. Most of the fragments that are now on display were discovered at the end of the 19th century. The daunting pillars were extracted from the Roman Bathhouse’s exercise hall and stood tall at 6ft initially in support of the stonework."

"Bounded to the west by the city walls, the Chester Roman Gardens were plotted by the curator of the Grosvenor Museum, Graham Webster in 1949. The park was laid out in the run up to the 1951 Festival of Britain and has ancient architectural fragments found during the 19th-century excavations of Deva’s baths and military buildings like the Principia. There’s a row of columns from the exercise hall in the main bathhouse, once almost two metres high."

"Located next to the Roman amphitheatre and Newgate, Chester Roman Gardens isn’t a regular garden because it’s packed with beautiful architectural fragments. The first thing you will see as you enter the garden is a mosaic. This is a reproduction of the Ostia style mosaic unearthed in Chester city centre which was laid within the Roman Bath House."

"This adorable Green Flag garden is the vestige of an estate founded in South Warrington in the 1830s. The house was occupied by three generations of the Parr family, but was demolished in 1970 after years of neglect. In spite of the disuse, the walled garden survived and is now as beautiful as ever, with three ponds, herbaceous borders, fruit espaliers and vegetable plots."

"Historic kitchen & pleasure gardens with ponds, paved pathways & a Victorian greenhouse. Address : Witherwin Avenue Grappenhall, South Warrington WA4 3DS, United Kingdom"

"While the country house at Hare Hill Hall is privately owned, the garden is cared for by the National Trust. The star here is the walled garden, a blaze of colour in early-summer when the rhododendrons and azaleas burst into flower. There are also uncommon varieties of poppy, iris, lupin, phlox and echinacea."

"We’re happy to give St John’s Gardens top marks for looks - after all, they’re meticulously kept, lined with a series of pretty walls and dotted with all kinds of lovely statues and flowerbeds - but the inner city location and relatively modest size mean it can seem a bit cramped (there's also something a bit wrong about cracking open a can of lager 50 feet from a dual carriageway). Still, it's great for a quick walk around."

"If you’re around the St George’s Plateau then head round the back to chill out in St John’s Gardens. The garden, which is part of the William Brown Street conservation area, has been a Green Flag site since 2003 and contains ornamental flower beds and various memorials to notable people in the city. A great spot to soak up the rays."

"Perfect for anyone with green fingers, the Allotment is undoubtedly a completely unique place to eat in Manchester, styled as a botanical garden. The fresh vibe of the airy venue extends to the cocktail and food menu, with both being made up of fresh fruits, vegetables and spices. Guests can enjoy a healthy salad, sink their teeth around a hearty sandwich and even share a platter of seasonal food with their friends."

"If yiou fancy a country escape but can't get out of the city, this is the quirky restart in Manchester for you. Join Allotment for botanical-inspired cocktails and rustic British plates while relaxing against a backdrop of foliage, wooden plots and gardening tools."

"Allotment is just a really cute place to have a meal and take a few snaps as you recline in rustic interiors surrounded by beautiful botany."

"As a recent addition to the The Alchemist family (this one opened in July 2018), Chester's branch offers a periodic table of cocktails in decadent surrounds. Watch as themasters behind the bar throw together elaborate concoctions or try it out yourself at one of their regular masterclasses. Before you get too invested in the delightful drinks, be sure to line your stomach with the likes of katsu chicken or pan-fried duck."

"It's offering an all-day dining menu on Deliveroo and beer, wine and cocktails can also be ordered for delivery, arriving on a hip flask that can be kept and refilled."
