An early 19th-century mock castle stands on a hill overlooking a lake. The castle is set within a landscape of sweeping lawns set off by a variety of mature trees, including chestnut, oak, and Cedars of Lebanon. The gardens around the castle are planted to provide a mix of colour and height. There is a rose garden, temple water garden, and mixed borders. Plantings provide colour at all times of the year, and there are lovely walks around the lake.

Don't be fooled by the name - the Roman Gardens is not a garden created by the Romans, but a modern green space where a number of Roman finds from the fortress of Deva have been gathered together for display. Among the finds displayed are stubs of Roman columns, pieces from the legionary headquarters and baths, and a reconstructed hypocaust (underfloor heating system). The site backs onto the old city walls, and you can clearly see the place where Parliamentary cannon forced a breach in the walls during the Civil War siege of Chester.
