The Library Gardens are located behind the Town's Library in West Street on 3 different levels. Each of the 3 levels has its own charm and character.

Relax in the fragrant garden, enjoy the sight and sound of the water fountain or if you are feeling energetic, make use of the free tennis court, in the lowest tier of the garden.

Dotted around the gardens are exhibits of site responsive artwork by students of the University College of the Creative Arts.

Look inside the walled garden before the archway and see terracotta tiles, cast to commemorate the millenium.

A large Cedar tree provides a natural shade covering to the upper section of the gardens.

The gardens and tennis courts are open April to September 9am to 5pm and October to March 9am to 4pm.  The tennis courts are free to use with each session lasting half an hour.  A new session begins on the half and on the hour every hour.
