Fitzroy Gardens & Captain Cook's Cottage

This Victorian-era park combines 65 acres of manicured gardens with magnificent avenues of English elms and seasonal displays that feel like stepping into a living postcard. The star attraction is Captain Cook's Cottage, a charming 1755 stone dwelling transported from England brick-by-brick, offering intimate glimpses into the explorer's family life and maritime heritage. The grounds blur the line between horticultural sanctuary and historical pilgrimage, where locals and visitors alike find quiet corners between the formal gardens and tree-lined promenades.
