Just a short walk from Cheltenham town centre, between the Imperial Gardens and the main shopping areas, this formal garden offers a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away from the spa town's activity.
Named after Cheltenham's twin town of Annecy in France, the garden's design reflects that connection through carefully structured planting beds, elegant water features, and a continental-style layout that brings a touch of France to the English Cotswolds.
It's the kind of place where you can settle on a bench with a book, wander the paths to take in the thoughtful planting schemes, or spend time by the ornamental pond and sculptures dotted throughout. The whole space has a calm, unhurried quality that makes a real contrast with the town centre just beyond its boundaries.
The garden works particularly well as a quiet spot to pause during a day of exploring Cheltenham, or if you're using the town as a base for exploring the wider Cotswolds and need a gentle stroll between other activities. There's no charge to enter, which makes it an easy addition to your plans without any commitment. The location between the Imperial Gardens and the shops means you can easily weave it into a larger day out without needing to travel elsewhere.
