Fantastic views on a good day looking over towards the hospital you can see the white horse at kilburn about 30 miles away. Great place to rest best part of the city (bar walls) for fantastic views of the minster. Be cautious in summer the bins can be full of wasps.
Approximate opening hours are 8am - 6pm, though this may vary throughout the year as it is open from sunrise to dusk.
Nice views of the town and of the beautiful vegetation to the right.
