The oldest public open space in England (dating from 1612) these gardens are a lovely place to walk, sit, chat and generally chill. There are remains of the ancient Roman city wall, the later Saxon wall, and Victorian additions There is also a striking monument to the dead of the World Wars. The figure of a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) nurse is believed to be one of the first women to be depicted on a war memorial in Britain. There are four entrances to the gardens, all of which are now wheelchair accessible. However the slope up from Queen Street is very steep. These gardens are Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

Went there as a part of red coat tours. Beautiful, well maintained garden with historical significance. There are roses, monuments and greenery everywhere, and it’s surrounded with parts of Exeter wall and history. Relaxing atmosphere and a great place to spend time with family and friends. Pet friendly too!

Nice elevated gardens adjacent to Exeter Central railway station, free to enter, huge impressive war memorial in the center, impressive views of the city. Likes - Quiet, Views, Memorial. Dislikes - not enough seating, unkept, Worth a visit though.
