Gardens

Cornwall is at its best in the spring....

Early in the year daffodils and primroses push their way out into the spring sun and Magnolias, Azaleas, Camellias burst into life, it's no wonder then that the county has become a land of gardeners who passion has created scores of exceptional masterpieces for you to enjoy.

We have gardens to suit everyone, from the world-renowned Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan to the historic gardens of the National Trust dotted throughout the county.  From large to small, romantic hidden retreats to family friendly (including the four-footed family members), gardens with easy access for our less agile visitors, gardens for walkers, a few horticultural hotspots and gardens by the water (not just by the sea!).  With over 60 gardens to choose from, visit our dedicated website www.gardensofcornwall.com.  For your spring visit here’s a few ideas to whet your appetite.
