Prior Park , field located in the surroundings of Bath (Somerset), is a manor surrounded by a English Jardin of the 18th century. The characteristic of this landscape garden is to be drawn by the Poète Alexander Pope and the Paysagiste Capability Brown. Work lasted thirty years, of 1734 with 1764.

The park includes/understands several madnesses: a building Néogothique, a Rubble and especially a Bridge Palladien. There exists in the world only four bridges of this style.

The owner of Prior Park was Ralph Allen, Maire of Bath since 1742 and precursor of the invention of the Timbre-poste.

The property is managed today by the National Trust.
