Discovery and restoration
Heligan, seat of the Tremayne family for more than 400 years, is one of the most mysterious estates in England.
At the end of the 19th century its 1000 acres were at their zenith, but only a few years later bramble and ivy were already drawing a green veil over this ‘Sleeping Beauty’.
After decades of neglect, the devastating hurricane of 1990 should have consigned The Lost Gardens of Heligan to a footnote in history.
Instead, events conspired to bring us here and the romance of their decay took a hold on our imaginations.
Today the mysterious Lost Gardens and Heligan estate offer over 200 acres for exploration.
Discover romantic Victorian Productive Gardens and Pleasure Grounds along winding paths laid out over two centuries ago.
Step back in time and journey across the world beneath the historic rhododendron boughs of Sikkim, beside Maori-carved tree ferns in New Zealand, to explore our Italian Garden and Alpine inspired Ravine.
Get lost in the exotic outdoor jungle whilst adventuring along raised boardwalks past giant rhubarb, banana plantations and through tunnels of towering bamboo.
Ancient woodlands and grazed pastures are managed to promote wildlife, which is celebrated at the pioneering Wildlife Project, offering an intimate view of native fauna.
Heligan is so much more than a garden restored; its own special atmosphere encourages contemplation and inspiration, satisfying the boardest range of horticultural and wildlife interest.
