Sightseeing
The Elizabethan Garden is tucked away in the back streets of Plymouth Barbican, at 34 New Street. The garden dates from the sixteenth century when wealthy merchants built their houses here.
The garden is so well hidden that it is rarely crowded and is sometimes completely empty, making it a quiet and serene oasis in which to relax. A fountain, mature trees, cobbled paths and low box hedges full of colourful flowers give a charming feel to this small garden.
Usually open all the year around from 9.00 am until 5.00 pm and free to enter, it is a hidden treasure indeed. But has been closed due to COVID, not sure if it has been reopened.
