Bridge End Garden
Bridge End Garden is in fact a series of seven interlinked gardens laid out by the Gibson family in the nineteenth century. These grade II-star listed gardens are now under the control of Saffron Walden Town Council, and remain open to the public each day free of charge.
Over the past few years an extensive restoration project, generously supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, has been undertaken to return this historic corner of Saffron Walden to its former glory so that it can once again be enjoyed by visitors of all ages.
Although the Garden is now looked after by Saffron Walden Town Council, whose website is given below, you can still find information about it in this section of the website.
