Visitors commonly mention its peaceful atmosphere, making it a lovely spot for a stroll or a picnic. The gardens run along the River Stour, providing picturesque water views, especially with the weeping willows and vibrant flower beds. The area is well-maintained, and it's a favorite for both locals and tourists who appreciate nature.
Westgate Gardens is one of the most beautiful gardens in Canterbury, especially in winter. I am sure I will visit again in the future.
