Congleton Bath House & Physic Garden

Just a short stroll from the centre of Congleton lies a remarkable historic treasure—one that many pass by without ever noticing. Nestled within secluded grounds is a beautifully restored Georgian bath house, now complemented by a newly established Physic Garden.

Please note: As with any natural setting, there are potential hazards. The garden includes a pond and other features, so children should be closely supervised during your visit.

Ideal for a quiet stroll, a moment of reflection, or a glimpse into local history—this hidden gem is open daily to the public.

In 2001, the Congleton Building Preservation Trust stepped in to rescue the site. Their mission: to preserve the heritage of these listed structures and transform the gardens into a peaceful, accessible space for the community to enjoy.

Today, the garden is open to the public every day—completely free of charge. Come explore a piece of Congleton’s past, lovingly brought back to life.

This is an outdoor, open space; no facilities are available.

The closest cafes & public toilets are in the town centre.

Due to the historic character of the site, full wheelchair access is not available. However, there are some features that remain accessible to visitors with limited mobility.

Parking:

Limited accessible parking can be found nearby on Lowe Avenue and Wellbank Court, offering closer proximity for those using wheelchairs or with restricted mobility.

Garden Access:

While not all areas of the garden are accessible, visitors can enjoy pleasant views from the top of the site via the main entrance. Hard-surfaced paths in this area provide easier navigation for those with mobility aids.

Important Note:

Access to the Bath House itself is only possible via steps and is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Visitors are advised to plan accordingly and exercise care when exploring the grounds.
