Humphrey Repton, a renowned 18th-century 'English Landscape' designer, previously sculpted the original.
Although the views of Bristol Docks are gone, the original garden retains a broad rolling feel.
Royal Fort Garden was originally a Civil War fortification built to defend the city during the 17th century. The grand Royal Fort House makes it a popular spot for recreation.
There are many art pieces in the gardens, such as 'Follow Me’ (by Jeppe Hein), a interactive mirror maze, and the immersive 'Hollow’ (by Katie Paterson), that brings together 10,000 tree species.
