Small, historic public gardens set on terraces above Exeter’s medieval Rougemont Castle and close to the cathedral. Photograph formal paths, veteran trees, seasonal bedding, stone memorials and city glimpses framed by greenery. Best at golden hour or autumn colour; overcast days suit close-ups of textures. Free entry, flat paved paths (wheelchair-friendly), street parking and city centre car parks nearby; 10–20min walk from Exeter St Davids. Weekdays are quieter.
