Bridge End Gardens, Victorian ornamental garden in Saffron Walden, United Kingdom.
Bridge End Gardens features interlocking garden rooms with a hedge maze, rose garden, sunken parterre, and wilderness areas across multiple levels.
Francis Gibson, a local Quaker businessman, established the gardens in 1840 before the Fry family leased them to the council in 1918.
The gardens host theater performances, music shows, and an annual Maze Festival, bringing together the community throughout the year.
The gardens remain open every day except December 25, with free admission and multiple entrances from Castle Street and Bridge Street.
The central viewing platform in the yew hedge maze, replanted in 1984, provides views over both the labyrinth and surrounding countryside.
