Braintree and Bocking Public Gardens

Braintree and Bocking Public Gardens are located in Braintree, Essex. The gardens are kept for the benefit of the general public. The gardens have been in Braintree since 1888 and are today kept and maintained by a registered charity. At the south end of the gardens next to the Coffee house, there is a well-equipped children’s play area. This is open at the same time as the gardens.
