The Eden Bridge Gardens are situated on the north bank of the River Eden at the foot of Stanwix, where the Gardens form an attractive entrance to Rickerby Park. Eden Bridge Gardens are ornamental gardens. Built by Percy Dalton, the City's Engineer, in the early 1930's from a design by Prentice Mawson. Eden Bridge Gardens are laid out with planted borders, shrubberies and ornamental ponds, with numerous sitting places for quiet contemplation overlooking the City of Carlisle and the River Eden.
