Sidney Courtauld donated the Braintree and Bocking Public Gardens to the people of Braintree in 1888. The gardens, which once belonged to his house, have many features including a war memorial, a bandstand, two tennis courts, a large wildlife area (which is home to many birds and squirrels) a large pond and a play area for the under 12’s. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon out with features that will suit the whole family.
