Sheffield Botanical Gardens
Nineteen acres of Grade II* listed gardens with restored Victorian glass pavilions, free to visit.
Opened in 1836 and laid out in the gardenesque style, the Botanical Gardens hold around 5,000 species across nineteen acres, arranged as a series of distinct garden areas — a rose garden, an evolution garden, a prairie-style border and woodland walks.
The restored curvilinear glass pavilions along the main terrace are the signature view. The whole site is free to enter and a ten-minute walk from Ecclesall Road's cafes and shops.
