A hidden Georgian garden on selected summer afternoons / MONMOUTH

Nelson Garden

Look for a quieter side of Monmouth at this small enclosed garden, reached through a less obvious town-centre entrance. Its association with Nelson and its sheltered planting make it an appealing pause between the streets and river. The restricted opening pattern is part of planning the visit: this is a short seasonal opportunity, not a garden you can count on entering every day.

Before you go

The tourism listing currently gives summer Fridays from noon to 3pm. Confirm the date and entry arrangements before organising a day around it.
