Goodland Gardens

Goodland Gardens, on the site of the town’s original fulling mill built in 1219, is the largest public space in Taunton’s town centre. Centrally located between the river and Taunton's Grade I listed Mediaeval Castle, the Gardens link Coal Orchard, Bridge/North Streets, Castle Green and Tangier.

Laid out in 1971, the public space takes its name from the Goodland family who played a major role in the water-borne coal trade and were involved in the work of the Tone Conservators who annually inspected the river to ensure that it was navigable.
