It was cute! Looks like a little sunken castle that has meshed with the soil and plants to create this now sunken garden. My daughter and I enjoyed our brief visit there and took plenty of pictures. There were other people who were around and enjoyed the place as an outing or a romantic lunch picnic. Children seemed to enjoy playing with the “dungeon gates.” We ventured to the back of the structure where we were able to enter the dungeon as take pictures to the amusement of people looking at us from the other side. Would be great if they would let visitors into the house/castle in the front or if they could open it and use it as gift store or restaurant.

This is such a cool unique and sort of secret spot. It's very beautiful and peaceful here, well kept and such a lovely place to relax and enjoy a nice afternoon. It is one of those special places that just feel distinctively "Rochester" while also feeling like maybe you've found some type of escape portal. Definitely walk up the stairs and see Warner Castle if you're already here. If you're coming down from Warner Castle, then you can continue hiking through Highland Park's forests as you leave this place. A little hard for Wheelchair access but you can probably stay on the upper tier to look down with some help. Safe for children and family to visit.

Second Trip to Rochester, First Time to The Sunken Garden. It was early morning during my visit as a Solo Traveler. The Weather was perfect during my hour of exploring and photographing this Monumental and Historical Place. The Creativity in the Mind of the Architect who Designed this Sunken Garden was Pure Poetic. Multiple Layers of Rock, Brick, Mortar and Iron Bars and Swinging Gates. THIS Garden is Hidden from the World above with ALL its Splendor Below! It's a Must See Location and Apparently during ANY Season of the Year.

The gardens are beautiful, as always, but not as well maintained as they have been in the past. Noticeable trash needs to be cleaned up and the sunken beds could use a good raking. I can't help but wonder why fall plants and flowers, such as mums, black-eyed Susans, flowering kale, and croton are not planted? The one black chokeberry bush is stunning, and the trees steal the show, as always! We found the gardens crowded (as usual, in autumn) but everyone was careful and polite about social distancing.

Beautiful but don’t expect a lot of ohhhs and ahhssss it’s nice to see it great to respect it and that will be enough.. I took a few photos and we walked one trail.. it was cold and wet so I wasn’t staying out there long. It is not well mapped that’s another thing. If u have the gps u will get there but there is no sign to sunken garden.. its behind the castle which makes u think its private cuz it says tenant parking only..
