Not far from the busy Spring Garden Road is the city's retreat: the Halifax Public Gardens. Step inside and the world is transformed; the city feels distant. Bright, budding flowers of all kinds line the path. Don't forget to check out The Nymph Fountain, erected in 1897 to honour Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. More
