Overview

The site of the largest garden restoration in Europe, these enchanted and enchanting gardens cover some 80 acres of glorious pleasure grounds plus a superb complex of walled gardens and a large productive vegetable garden, all being returned to their former glory as a working museum of 19th century horticulture. At the end of the 19th century the Tremayne family's thousand acres gardens were flourishing, but only a few years later brambles and ivy were already turning them into the Cornish equivalent of Sleeping Beauty's gardens. The award-winning garden restoration is already internationally acclaimed, and a must-see place for every visitor to Cornwall who has at least half a day to spare.
