Tips from locals
In 1816 the gardens were commissioned by the British Governor of Gibraltar General George Don. It was his intention that the soldiers stationed in the fortress would have a pleasant recreational area to enjoy when off duty, and so inhabitants could enjoy the air protected from the extreme heat of the sun. Now for locals and tourists to enjoy the scenery of the native wildlife, fauna and flora.

Beautifully well kept gardens with a huge variety of plants. it's a relaxing place to eat your picnic and get away from the hustle and bustle of town. Whilst in the gardens pay a visit to the small zoo which has a surprising number of different animals.
An opportunity for a tranquil walk in beautiful surroundings. Also located within the gardens is a Wildlife Conservation Park
