About us

Unfortunately, Elizabethan Gardens is currently closed with plans to reopen for Easter 2024. More details to be shared in due course.

This delightful little garden is an oasis of tranquility in a sea of shoppers and tourist activity,in a street that was new in the 16th century, when wealthy merchants built their houses here. Although a popular tourist stop it is tucked away, and can be quiet and completely empty even on a hot August day.

Very low box hedges contain beds of colorful flowers and fragrant herbs in the old Elizabethan manner. Underfoot are cobbled paths and areas of old slate. Stone seats are very welcome to the weary shopper, although unfortunately this is not a place for those whose mobility is limited, as there are lots of stone steps and no room for ramps.

Relaxing beside the cooling fountain, it is easy to think yourself back in Elizabethan Plymouth.
