This is a very well kept free public garden, with some bits of history that remain from a old house. Also has interesting botanic and historic tours, with great views over the active river thames and a Tea Kiosk. Been there several times and enjoyed every single of them. Overall a great place for a walk, relax and a picnic.
Great for a stroll and nice benches by the water. You can also feed the ducks. The tea house is convenient when it is open (indicated by a sign out front of the gardens).
Caversham Court gardens has been beautifully renovated by volunteers and it remains a lovely place to visit. It is right on the river so the views are lovely. There is a small cafe and outdoor performances in summer
We live quite close and often go for a short stroll to admire the gardens and the River Thames. Any visitors we take are quite fascinated by the various time-lines etc.
For a very pleasant stroll in the summer these gardens are ideal plus finishing with an ice cream. Near the river but it seems a million miles from Reading. I imagine on a cold frosty morning these would be equally pleasant followed by a pint beside the fire in the pub.
These gardens are pretty and well tended - but very small. If you are local then you probably know what to expect, but if you travel to get here and/or you visit for the first time you could be disappointed. And I'm not sure where you would park a car.If you're happy to sit on a bench or the grass and enjoy the view of the Thames then you will be fine. But there aren't many areas to walk around.The little cafe is quite cute - although they were serving very weak filter coffee when I went so I bought a diet coke instead. The ladies behind the counter were very nice, and their cakes looked good (although I didn't try one). The history path is quite interesting - as is the little 'hut' that tells you about the gardens in the past (and the house that used to be there). But these don't take long to read.It is worth popping in for an hour or so.....but I would say most people would be bored after that!
Recently visited Caversham Court Gardens and I love the relaxed feeling they give me.I take my mum there and its just the right size for a pleasant stroll and a short rest on the seats.
Nice place lovely kepted gardens. A good place to have a quietcup of tea and cake very nice people.
Great voluntary guides who will show you around and explain the history of these lovely gardens by the Thames.
This is a beautiful place to visit, right on the river Thames. Somewhere to go to photograph wildlife on the river, eat a picnic, sit and read or meet up with friends. Lovely Tea Kiosk serving homemade cakes and drinks at very reasonable prices for Charity. Lots of history to read about and things to see. Well worth a visit. Especially nice when the sun is shining!
