Forbury Gardens is a picturesque public park featuring floral arrangements and intriguing monuments. Meandering paths traverse the undulating greenery of this rural set of gardens near the outer court of the Reading Abbey Ruins. Visit the ruins and amble along the walkways as you consider the rich history of this park. Note that the gardens began as a gathering spot for the abbey, which was constructed in the early 12th century by King Henry I. A market and fairs ran on this hilly park for hundreds of years until the 19th century. Relax on a bench and admire the scenic gardens as they are today, lined with trees, bushes and grassy knolls. Take shelter in the central bandstand, with its elegant external set of steps and pointed red roof. Inspect the impressive 19th-century Maiwand Lion war memorial, which was named after the Battle of Maiwand in the late 1800s. Climb up Forbury Hill and enjoy the views of the rest of the gardens. The hill is topped by a few wooden seats and a single plane tree. Other highlights of the gardens are its rose garden and floral displays. Purchase snacks and drinks from the refreshment kiosk and find a patch of grass to enjoy a picnic with friends. Check out the impressive surviving vestiges of the Reading Abbey Ruins on the northeastern corner of the park. Note that the site, which is free to visit, opens daily from early morning until fairly late in the evening. Find Forbury Gardens in the heart of Reading. Arrive at the Reading railway station and walk east for 5 minutes to reach the center of the gardens. You can also take a bus to one of the many stops along the park. Visit nearby sights, such as the Reading Museum, The Hexagon theater and Market Place Square. ## Plan a trip to see Forbury Gardens Price found within the past 48 hours.
