...And if all that isn’t enough, here are three great, historical, Cornish gardens to visit


Time Off Longcross Victorian Garden


The only public garden on the north Cornwall coast. A beautiful and idyllic restored Victorian gardens in a maze-like layout with water and granite features stretching to almost 4 acres, an example of coastal hedging and gardening. Panoramic views over Port Isaac and Port Quin Bays.


The gardens remain in the original Victorian garden layout and they retain their splendour. Visitors often say that they have never seen a garden resembling the Long Cross and this is mainly because the gardens were constructed primarily to overcome the difficulties of the local climate. North Cornwall is England’s windiest area with strong winds laden with salt even in the summer, this results in the garden receiving one hundredweight of salt per acre per year.

Tregothnan Botanic Gardens World renowned private 40 hectare botanical garden. New camellia maze, South American garden and ‘champion’ trees. Deer park views. Home of the first English tea. Complementary cream tea served in historic summerhouse. Each guest


receives individual attention. Ponds, vistas and unequalled scale and diversity.


Open all year round by appointment only. The Tregothnan Botanic Garden is the largest historic garden in Cornwall. As a private botanic garden and arboretum, Tregothnan is unequalled - offering a diversity of plants and trees, rare collections, sweeping vistas and peaceful secluded groves.


The garden is not open to the public, however private garden visits can be arranged with Head Gardener, Neil Bennett.


tour lasts two hours in all and on your visit they guide you through the garden, discuss its fascinating history and their exciting plans for the future. Group bookings by emailing: info@tregothnan.com or by calling: 01872 520000.


Enys Garden


This is one the oldest gardens in Cornwall. Tucked away in Penryn, Enys can often be overlooked en route to many of the more celebrated gardens near Falmouth and the Helford Estuary. Robert de Enys lived here during the reign of Edward I, and even as far back as 1709, Camden’s Magna Britannia noted Enys for its fine gardens. J D Enys sourced many of the species found in the formal gardens on his trips to New Zealand and Patagonia, and as a result the varieties are quite diverse. There is also a fine collection of rare bamboos, and the frost-free climate has enabled many tender plants and trees to flourish.


Open: Tuesday and Thursday afternoons: from 2pm - 5pm and the first Sunday of the month: from 2pm - 5pm until Thursday 30th September. Tel: 01326 259885
