Introduction
Regent Gardens occupy a triangular area on the flank of Calton Hill. The gardens retain their early-19th-century structure. A terrace planted with limes is set above a ha-ha at the top of the gardens. Below it is a central lawn on sloping ground with parkland trees. Walks sheltered by trees surround the lawn.
