Visit websiteLovely park , free parking up to 4hrs ,had to lovely days with my grandchildren as you can tell from the photos ☺
My partner and I always have such a lovely time here. At this time of the year, the babies popping their heads out from the islands (or their mums backs in this case) is always a lovely sight to behold. I’m so glad we have these gardens reasonably local; they never fail to provide a nice, peaceful couple hours away from our usual busy lives.
Beautiful gardens, well kept and abundantly loved by staff and visitors. It has a lovely cafe with the most delicious scones ... it has peaceful and rugged walks and has pathed walks for the less able or mummies and daddies with little ones... dogs welcome and plentiful in park and cafe, leashed and unleashed areas for them too. One of Dovers' little gems for sure ✨️
Kearney Abbey is one of my favorite places to take my children or elderly parents! Playground, walks, rivers to play in, swans, ducks, ice cream, picnic areas, seating, toilets. What more could you want!
Kearsney Abbey is one of the best green spaces in Kent. Beautiful scenery, lots of wildlife. (You can even purchase bird food from the cafe to feed the swans and ducks!) It's always clean and tidy, plenty of quiet spots to relax and enjoy your surroundings. There's some great signage around to learn the history of the area. The café is reasonably priced and the choices of food and drink are lovely! There's a car park with free parking for four hours, too, that's a rarity these days!
