A beautiful garden that I'm told has been restored and maintained by volunteers since the local council has abandoned it. In fact, the council doesn't seem to care about anything in the town, save trousering the tax.
There's only one toilet in the vicinity, and it appears that it's exactly as it was in the Victorian era.

Even on a cold a windy November day, stunning views. And 'ground under repair'. No bother. Toilets nearby too.

Fantastic early morning walk before visiting the beach. The flowers are beautiful and the gardens are very restful.
Absolutely loved the Italian Gardens on the far side of South Bay The situ and the planting on different levels are amazing as is the lily pond and statue. Lots of lovely friendly cheeky grey squirrels playing throughout x So beautiful and a lovely walk from the town centre/ beach. - a total hidden gem. Would deffo recommend a visit x
So peaceful and beautifully maintained as is the rose garden nearby. Lovely walk down the cliffs to reach it and then down to the seafront. Get the lift back up to the top. I managed it fairly well and I have arthritis in my knees but ok with my stick.
A nice little garden to walk around. Toilets situated next to the putting green. These are one of the only free toilets before the front so use them if you can. Free parking down the street opposite too (holbeck road). We’ve always found a space.
