Coronation Garden

A beautiful part of Beverley - a restful retreat from the 'busy' main street.

The Coronation Garden is a lovely quiet space to sit and reflect, read a book or explore history. It’s in the Georgian area of Beverley, very close to North Bar. It is absolutely steeped in history! You’ll see gravestones of all ages and shapes around the outskirts of the garden; follow the path through to the back and you’ll find the most amazing old cemetery with many interesting inscriptions on the various monuments. The garden is very well cared for and new features have been added in recent years including a stone head and a tree planted by the vicar of nearby St Mary’s couch to commemorate victims of the Pandemic.

The gardens are nice to sit in and have a drink / bite to eat, especially in the summer. Usually a nice quiet place. Also seems to be a good place to take dogs for a walk. There's a little graveyard at the back too which is worth a look. Lots of interesting plants and flowers to look at and plenty of birds visit the garden too!

Lovely peaceful gardens in Beverley town centre just next to the North Bar. Lots of benches to enjoy a break with a coffee from the numerous independent cafes nearby. This garden was extremely well used during lockdown but quietened down a bit now. Very well maintained with a sensory garden and plants to attract wildlife. Best part is the graveyard! Some really interesting headstones including some prominent local figures mainly mid to late 1800s.

I absolutely love walking around the gardens. A relaxing place to sit, listen to the waterfall, and listen to the birds sing. I find myself going every time I visit Beverley. I love it!
