Prior Park Landscape Garden, English garden in Bath, England
Located on a hill overlooking Bath, Prior Park Landscape Garden features winding paths, water features, and a Palladian bridge across a serpentine lake.
Ralph Allen established the garden in 1750, collaborating with Alexander Pope and Lancelot Brown to create this landscaped parkland featuring 55,200 planted trees.
The garden design influenced European landscape architecture through its naturalistic approach, incorporating classical elements like the Palladian bridge and Gothic temple.
The National Trust manages this 28-acre garden, offering visitor facilities including a tea cabin serving refreshments at the lower entrance.
The Palladian bridge stands as one of only four such structures remaining in the world, reflecting the architectural principles of Andrea Palladio.
