Victoria Park, Leamington Spa

It is situated about half a mile (800 m) west of the town centre and is on the south bank of the River Leam.

The total area of the park as it stands today is 18.5 acres (7.5 ha).

[1] Up until the 1830s the park was just part of farmland on the edge of the growing spa town.

In the middle of the nineteenth century Leamington Cricket club made their first home there and in the 1860s the New Riverside Walk was opened.

The park was extensively landscaped and redesigned in 1899 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
