Alexandra Park

Alexandra Park is a green space in Gloucestershire featuring curved pathways, gardens, and recreational areas near the Bristol Channel. The grounds include lawns, trees, and landscaped sections designed for walking and relaxation.

The park was established in 1901 and became popular with local residents, receiving major improvements during the 1920s. This period also saw the completion of the war memorial that came to define the space.

The war memorial was created by Sir William Goscombe John, a sculptor from Cardiff, and honors soldiers from World War I. Visitors encounter this monument while walking through the grounds and can reflect on the place's deeper meaning to the community.

The park is easily accessible on foot and offers open pathways for wandering, walking, and exploring different sections. Comfortable shoes are recommended since there is much to see and visitors often spend several hours enjoying the grounds.

The park contains specific tree varieties including Black Pine and Monterey Cypress that were planted around the time of World War I. These trees still stand today and offer a green canopy that reflects the place's historical roots.
