The self guided walk will teach you about the origins of Cook Park, taking in the Park Guildry adorned with local arts and crafts and the original use of the German 'Whiz Bang Gun. Cook Park was laid out with straight paths and rows of trees, with much of the original design still in place. There is a display of Tuberous Bergonias in the Blowes Conserveratory from February to April every year.
Cook Park embodies the changing colours of Orange. Summer's arrival brings gardens of stunning and vibrant, coloured roses. From February to April, hundreds of begonias bloom in the Blowes Conservatory and in spring, a burst of colour arrives with masses of tulips and daffodils.
Take the time to breathe the fresh air and stroll around Cook Park experiencing the beauty and heritage of these gardens. ...
