Northernhay Gardens, Public park near Rougemont Castle in Exeter, England.
The gardens extend along tree-lined paths with maintained lawns, ornamental structures, and memorials near Exeter's city center walls.
The site was initially quarried by Romans for stone to construct city walls, later becoming England's first public recreational space in 1612.
Multiple statues within the gardens commemorate local figures, including The Deer Stalker sculpture and the Exeter War Memorial by John Angel.
The gardens open daily from 7:30 AM until dusk, with main entrances located at Northernhay Place and Queen Street near the High Street.
The park contains the only visible section of Saxon town wall in England, alongside preserved Roman fortification elements.
