Saltwell Park

Through historic research, this beautiful park has been restored to its former 19th century splendour. Opened in 1876 to provide a haven of peace and tranquillity, it’s a Grade II Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest and contains 12 listed buildings, the main one being the mansion Saltwell Towers, which is a mix of several styles including Gothic, Elizabethan and French. After undergoing a massive restoration programme, the towers are just one of the restored jewels of the park and now house the popular visitors’ centre. Saltwell Park is laid out as a series of ‘garden rooms’ in different styles. In a short walk, users experience a wide variety of styles - going from open meadow, to formal Italianate gardens and then to a woodland glade.
