Museum Gardens york

Beautiful gardens to spend a sunny day! The abbey ruins are breathtaking, the museum, the river and the Tudor house give it a very English feeling. Really recommend it. Especially as you explore the city walls and have to cross the river, this is a good break.I will come back again next time I’m around York.

The grounds of the museum have both plants leading up to it and surrounding it and the tall walls. Gardens appear rather well kept, from the grass, to bushes, to trees. There's a small 'edible garden' further away from the museum entrance and has a nice variety of plants. [Must update with pictures later as the season changes]

Particularly nice place to sit and relax on a sunny day. There are often a number of activities to enjoy, such as a display of birds of prey or a craft fair. Very pleasant and can be included into the general journey into the centre of time.

Such a lovely place to sit. Take the kids for a play or to the museum. It's great to watch the squirrels play or even come and take some bits out of your hand.

Nice and peaceful walk around though we didn't spend a lot of time here. Plenty of pigeon poop in the tunnel which was funny considering the spikes were put in place to try and prevent this but things were still readable. Liked how it was right next to the museum so we could go between the two in one nice transition

Lovely free public space to have a wander and take a load off. Nice scenery and lots of benches to take in the surroundings. More cities should have green spaces like this in them. Great spot to consume your coffee and brownie from Brew & Brownie across the street. Definitely recommend that place too!

Beautiful place: perhaps a few too many people wandering around, and without masks. Most would say it's outside, but given the chocke points, more mask wearing would have been appreciated (am highly clinically vulnerable). When we were there, a fantastic ice cream van, and an opportunity to look, and have on your wrist: owls; eagles...

Lovely gardens with Abbey ruins. Lots of space to sit either on the grass or on seats. A little show of birds of prey has been on every time we've visited which is well worth a watch. Mobile food van available. Highly recommended!!

Nice gardens to sit down and have picnic and ice cream from the ice cream van. It gets very crowded in summer holidays was hard to find a shaded empty spot. I guess entry is free so we can't complaint . Overall well maintained and beautiful .

A lovely space in the middle of the city. Lots of flowers in bloom, well looked after. Wheelchair friendly. Opportunity to handle birds of prey. Building work going on to prevent flooding. Lots of benches. Many ancient ruins. Path through to the York art gallery.
