| Description |
Starting from the Armagh Street car park, follow the path leading around the north of Victoria Lake. Continue to the Armagh Street bridge and then proceed north around the perimeter of Hagley Park past Harper and Deans Ave. Turn onto Riccarton Ave and continue to the pedestrian entrances to the Botanic Gardens. Follow the path into the Gardens next to the early spring flowering daffodils and Bandsmen's Memorial Rotunda. The Heritage Rose Garden is also well worth a short detour. Cross the Woodland Bridge into the rest of the Botanic Gardens, stop to see the Peace Bell and enjoy the Central Rose Garden and conservatories before taking the Armagh Footbridge back to the car park where you started. |
