This shows one of the entrances to Linda Vista Gardens, near Tudor Street, which is a richly-planted urban public park with origins as a private garden. The name Linda Vista means 'beautiful view' in Spanish.

It has an intricate layout in the formal part of the garden and has an exceptional quality and variety of planting including unusual specimen trees and shrubs.

These gardens were originally attached to Linda Vista House. Built in 1875 the house is a three storey Victorian Villa built of stone with painted dressings.

Arthur Whitehead and his wife Violet were the final owners of Linda Vista from 1911. Arthur Whitehead was a wealthy industrialist whose family were owners of a steelworks in Ebbw Vale and Newport. On Mrs Whitehead's death in May 1957, Linda Vista was sold to Abergavenny Borough Council for the sum of £4,000 for use as a public park.

One of the paths, and there are a lot, leading towards the Rose Garden showing some of the available seating. The park was formerly the gardens of a private house, Linda Vista, built in 1875.

Another narrower path. There is also a cafe in the gardens and, just as importantly, toilets.

Part of the Rose Garden with a semi-circular area and a radiating pattern of box edged beds.

A delightful gem, near the river with lots of space for all to enjoy, whether picnicking on the grass or walking around the flowerbeds. There are also plenty of seats around the gardens for you to sit and enjoy the views.

Yucca filamentosa (otherwise known as Adam's Needle) is a small stemless evergreen shrub with rather attractive bell-shaped flowers in clusters.

There is a very large group of Pampas Grass near the Cafe of which this is just a small part.
