Summer at Prior Park
Cows will be in the Pasture on a rotating basis during the summer, spending time here, and in the nearby Bath Skyline fields. They can be easily avoided by keeping on the paths down the sides of the garden, but visitors are still able to walk through the Pasture as well.
The cows are here for conservation grazing. This management ensures that the Pasture remains a good habitat for lots of lovely wildflowers. Our volunteer teams help them out a bit though, tackling some of the bigger patches of thistles when necessary.
