A serpentine park, designed by Lancelot Brown in 1759, with a nineteenth century terrace garden. The house has been demolished and the Trentham Gardens is now a public park. Sir Charles Barry designed an Italian garden beside the lake in 1840. His design has been simplified, but survives. In 2004 the gardens were restored and re-opened under the name Trentham Leisure.

    My husband and I took our two children to trentham gardens (5 & 8 yrs) for the day during summer holiday, and they loved it. We went on the boat, train and they especially loved the novelty of the bare foot walk, which was fun for us watching them. Lovely kids playground and different types of gardens to explore. We took a picnic. Woodland walks and den area to play in. Bit of a shopping experience for my indulgence at the end. Must say, its not cheap, but then what family day out is? (when you compare to the theme parks, this is cheaper). We also tried the monkey forest, and the kids found boring after 15 mins, so this was a waste of money for us. Really dissappointed as we thought this would be the best bit. Recommend the gardens only, but do each on separate day, as trentham gardens needs a day on its own to be leisurely.

    I went to Trentham gardens in the summer and had a picnic by the lake with my mum and brother. We kept on getting swarmed by the ducks which was sweet it was a really hot day so we all went and stood by the ice cold water fountain. Great day.

    Great day out. Lovely gardens, beautiful lake, shops, monkeys; you name it. Amused by the single bad review out below, which relates to a trip to the garden centre by someone who doesn't like garden centres. Even that has the Duchess of Sutherland's cottage at the back of it!

    I think the gardens are brilliant, Its great for a day out with the family and there are loads of activiteys aswell, such as, boat riding, train ride, fishing, and others.
    I was dissopointed with the food there because it took ages to come and was abit small.Once it was like a peiace of slope errrrr.
    But i have had very good bike rides and long walks there witch was nice and its just great family fun.
