Canal Gardens, Roundhay Park

The layout of Nicholson's canal garden is an example of the fashion during the 1830's to separate formal gardens from the immediate picturesque setting of the house and parkland. Nicholson' s layout remains remarkably intact since its creation over 180 years ago, with the central canal crossed at either end by a rustic stone bridge, surrounded by a broad walk, with well laid out flower beds and herbaceous planting.
