St Peter's Church sits in Castle Park where the overwhelming and consistent smell of weed mixed with urine is off putting. Certainly wouldn't like to walk through there at night, but on a sunny autumnal day it was quite pleasant, smell aside. For a 'ruin', the church is a quite in-tact. Bombed during WWII it sits as a memorial of a dark time. You cannot enter the church but you can wander around the outside, taking in some flower beds, the park it sits in and an offshoot of the River Avon flanking it's southern border. Entering the park via Castle Bridge (pedestrian) gives you the best view of the church.

Great architecture but has a really strong Christian theme to the decor with lots of crosses / pictures of Jesus E.T.C. found this a bit off putting tbh. Some more soft furnishings and mellow tones would really set the space off and make it more accessible. The furniture situation generally was very rigid with all the seats looking quite uncomfortable and overly uniform. Who ever came up with the seating plan needs to relax and realise that maximising seats doesn't necessarily make for a good ambience.

One star for the bad state that this monument is in! Something of such historical significance should not be neglected the way it is. There are homeless people, there is rubbish everywhere, the building is dirty, the nameplate of those that lost their lives is falling off. Whats the government doing here?

Very interesting place so definitely worthwhile to check this place out and learn a bit about its history and past. The ruins of this church are located in the middle of a scenic park so the visitors can expect to experience a unique atmosphere here. Therefore, I can only recommend it.

Pretty ruin of a church located in beautiful castle park. It doesn't stand out but it's nice addition with plenty of flowers surrounding it, also it is nice place to sit down and relax even though you are right next to The Galleries and Cabbot Circus.

Lovely place to walk through, loved all the flowers, they were beautiful. Although there are quite a few homeless people living in tents on these grounds. And around this church were a few groups of people minding their own business smoking greens.
