Royal Botanical Gardens
Visitors are always stunned that entry is free to these most incredible gardens.
A walk round the grounds is fascinating and every season brings a new surprise.
You do have to pay to enter the Greenhouses (£5) but that is optional.
You can easily spend a couple of hours wandering round. There are often special exhibits on, plus restaurant, shop and cafe. On a lovely sunny day there are few better places to relax in the city. A very tranquil and serene place.
