Prior Park offers great views over Bath and in winter more can be seen, as the trees lose their leaves.

We’ve had snow the past few years and it transforms the garden – the grass is carpeted in white and the evergreen trees stand out against the snow.

Look out for Prior Park in the Reader’s Snapshot page of our spring issue, out next month.
