Fascinating gardens with walks of varying lengths. Look out for rhododendrons and camellias, a series of lakes, flower and vegetable gardens, an Italian garden, and the jungle - a wild area filled with subtropical tree ferns.
Spread over 200 acres – and a well-deserved winner of the Silver Award for Large Attraction in the Cornwall Tourism awards – the Lost Gardens of Heligan is an absorbing family destination featuring a wealth of fun-filled activities and a string of gorgeous gardens to captivate the interest of all ages. Split into several themes – the Northern Gardens, Wider Estate, Horsemoor Hide and Jungle – the gardens had been created by generations of the Tremayne family in the 19thcentury. They were beautifully restored in the 1990s having fallen into neglect following the First World War. Northern Gardens Restored to its original glory, this section encompasses The Vegetable Garden, Walled Flower Garden and Melon Yard to provide an interesting insight into traditional crop growing and exotic glasshouse fruit production. Horsemoor Hide The go-to place for a deeper investigation into the wildlife of Heligan, with the gardens and estate actively managed to encourage various species. Also home to the ‘x-ray studio’ which beams live images of a variety of wildlife, such as bats, owls and other birds. Wider Estate Comprises ancient pastures, woodland and wetland, as well as ponds and lakes spread over 100 acres. Within the ancient woodlands, a sheltered path features woodland sculptures and bat boxes. The ‘Lost Valley’ is carpeted with bluebells in spring and has two lakes where otters and wintering Kingfishers may be spotted. Jungle Set in a steep-sided valley, it was here that Victorian plant hunters brought back and cultivated an exotic range of plants from around the world. The valley setting helps create a micro-climate for the plants – they say it’s at least five degrees warmer than the Northern Gardens – and a series of raised boardwalks take you through towering plants and ponds. When in the Jungle, kids will love the 100ft long, scary rope bridge, stretching over towering ferns and giant gunnera. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are located just over 12 miles from Wyndham Trenython Manor.
