Elizabethan Gardens, Restored garden in Barbican district, Plymouth, England.
Elizabethan Gardens is a restored green space in Plymouth's Barbican district with four interconnected sections. It features formal water pools, heritage roses, and geometric box hedges arranged across multiple levels.
These gardens were established in 1970 to mark 350 years since the Mayflower departed from Plymouth. The project aimed to commemorate this significant moment in local history.
The garden displays plant varieties and architectural pieces from the 16th century, including a doorway moved from the Hospital of Poor's Portion. You can observe how people of that era arranged their outdoor spaces.
The gardens are accessible daily and provide stone seating and shaded spots throughout the different garden sections. Visitors should take time to explore the various levels at their own pace.
The gardens contain large chimney stacks and rubble walls from 16th-century merchant houses that frame the planted areas. These old structures give the place its distinctive character.
