Structure
The Hanging Gardens are a contemporary landscaped area developed on the steeply sloping bank running down to the Close, within the boundary of the historic town wall. The formerly derelict site was developed in the early 1990s by Anthony Walker and Partners. The tiers are constructed from brick walls and hold areas of trees, bushes and ferns as well as grassed spaces. The walkways are paved and tarmacked, and wind up the terraces which are separated by iron railings. The Hanging gardens won the Landscape Institute National Design award in 1993. LOCAL LIST
