More information on Lost Gardens of Heligan (The)

The site of the largest garden restoration in Europe, these enchanted and enchanting gardens cover some 80 acres of glorious pleasure grounds plus a superb complex of walled gardens and a large productive vegetable garden, all being returned to their former glory as a working museum of 19th century horticulture. At the end of the 19th century the Tremayne family's thousand acres gardens were flourishing, but only a few years later brambles and ivy were already turning them into the Cornish equivalent of Sleeping Beauty's gardens. The award-winning garden restoration is already internationally acclaimed, and a must-see place for every visitor to Cornwall who has at least half a day to spare.
