The Terrace Gardens are famous for their seasonal bedding, shrubberies, rockery and rose garden, all set amongst fine trees and sloping lawns. Close to the main entrance in Petersham Road is a conservatory with tropical plants. On the balustrade seating area on the top terrace is a formal pool with a modern statue of Aphrodite. From the gravel walk at the summit of Richmond Hill many local landmarks can be viewed: on a clear day you can see Windsor Castle.
