One of the main attractions of this site is that it has direct access to the Lost Gardens of Heligan. We spent several hours wandering through the 200 acres of these very impressive gardens (and their excellent farm shop too!).

The story of this estate is legend – originally owned by the Tremayne family and at it’s peak in the late 19th century, it fell into disrepair after World War I and remained overgrown and neglected until the 1990s when it was discovered and restored by a team led by Tim Smit – who was also responsible for the nearby Eden Project.
