Princess Gardens

Gardens

"Princess Gardens, situated on the seafront, is an exotic place of colourful flower beds, an ornate fountain and lawns. The open expanse of the gardens is a great favourite, offering wonderful  views of the bay, the Pier and harbour. The garden was the first public park in Torbay and remains substantially unchanged since the resort was in its heyday. The layout of the flower beds follow the original fleur-de-lis design. Cordyline or Torbay Palms are an historic feature of the gardens as is the grade II-listed three-tier cast iron fountain which was restored and repainted to its original colour scheme in 2018."
