Spring Garden Tours: Bath in Bloom
As April showers give way to blooming flowers, Bath transforms into a botanical paradise. This spring, explore the city's horticultural delights with special garden tours available throughout April and May 2025.
Prior Park Landscape Garden, the National Trust property with magnificent views over Bath, will be hosting guided "Spring Awakening" tours every Wednesday and Saturday. Experts will point out rare plant species and explain the fascinating history behind this 18th-century landscape garden. The sweeping valley with the Palladian bridge is particularly spectacular when surrounded by spring blooms.
The Botanical Gardens in Royal Victoria Park are a must-visit this season, with their extraordinary collection of trees and shrubs putting on a vibrant display. Their "Plants Through Time" guided walks (April 12-26) offer insight into the historical significance of plants in Bath's development as a spa town.
For a more intimate garden experience, don't miss the Hidden Gardens of Bath event (April 26-27), where private residents open their usually concealed gardens to the public. This rare opportunity gives you access to some of Bath's most charming secret spaces. Our guests at Haringtons Hotel particularly love this event, as it provides a glimpse into authentic Bath life that most tourists never see.
Sydney Gardens, Jane Austen's favorite park, is also worth exploring this spring, especially after its recent restoration. The formal planting and wooded areas provide a peaceful retreat from the city center, just a short walk from our hotel.
After a day of garden exploration, return to Haringtons Hotel where you can relax in comfort. Our boutique rooms offer the perfect place to rest tired feet, while our serviced apartments provide space to arrange any flowers or plants you may have purchased during your horticultural adventures.
Looking for a special treat? Ask us about our "Bath in Bloom" package, which includes accommodation, tickets to Prior Park, and a spring-themed cream tea on arrival.
Book your garden getaway at Haringtons Hotel and experience Bath in its springtime glory!
