I am a local photographer and this is one of my most favourite haunts. Its somewhere I always suggest to my clients as a location for family, pet or even wedding preshoots. I have even done a wedding shoot here. Stunning grounds, very well kept!

Love spending time at the beautiful River Gardens! The historic mills create a stunning backdrop, and the river Derwent flows through.

You can have so much fun feeding the geese, ducks, gulls and pigeons. The pigeons will land on you if you stay still, so if you would rather not entertain them at such close quarters, keep walking as you feed. There's a somewhat famous limping goose - she's a Greylag X Canada goose that the locals have christened Camilla. She hisses at you loudly for food and pokes her tongue out, and she loves to peck all the other birds away too. So don't be fooled by her limp - she's a feisty bird!

There's a very nice cafe in the gardens and it's a fabulous spot to sit and while the time away.

The River Gardens are not really a tourist attraction as such - they're more for locals to enjoy I'd say.

They're just a thoroughly nice place to relax and enjoy the water, the history, the wildlife, and a cuppa and cob ????????????

Great Location for a Picnic. Take a folding Chair as the Geese make a mess of the grass. Lovely view of the river. well worth parking in Field Lane car park as well and taking a walk up King street. Parking is reasonably priced and on the flat. A tree lined path at the side of Poundland takes you out into the Pedestranized King street. Great varaiety of cafes and shops. Turn left up the hill and on the right you will find the Memorial Gardens. Filled with a great flower display . See Photos

Very tranquil, well maintained and beautiful garden with period bandstand. Close to Belper town centre and the historic East Mill. Part of the historic Belper Town Trail

Considering its mid Feb I thought this place was excellent. The surrounding river had the remains of flood detritus trees and branches which was actually enhancing especially for the birdlife. We will be returning in the summer.

Plenty of interpretation boards to explain the history of this, well-cared for garden. Good children's playground with rocks for kids to scramble

Beautiful gardens and gentle sou d of horse shoe falls. Visit the Mill museum whilst it is still open and unfortunately will close in the summer due to funding being withdrawn.

This is a stunning park regardless of the time of year you visit.

Lovely park to have a walk around.
