Take a gentle walk through the Queen Mother Rose Garden and the North Sea Memorial Garden. The 180-hectare expanse offers plenty of space to stretch your legs and find a quiet corner away from the main paths.

Find a clear view facing west to watch the sunset. On 15 April, the sun sets toward the WNW at 20:17. The open grassy areas provide an unobstructed view of the sky turning gold and pink.

Stay for the golden light as it fades. The park remains open until an hour before dusk, allowing you to enjoy the lingering twilight and the peaceful ambiance of the gardens after the sun has gone down.
Local tip
