Private Gardens of Cornwall

Activity Level:

Summary

Cornwall’s gardens are renowned the world over for their colour and variety, and there are some truly outstanding examples here, many of them privately owned. These include the Italianate-style Lamorran and Caerhays Castle with its informal woodland garden. We begin at Lanhydrock, where nineteenth century formal gardens surround a fine seventeenth century house. Trewithen has long enjoyed a great reputation amongst garden connoisseurs thanks to its outstanding collection of Asiatic trees and shrubs, while Trelissick is a more modern affair which is constantly evolving with new planting and fresh ideas.

Choose between spring when the rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias burst into life or high summer when the hydrangeas run riot and the flowering reaches its peak.
