The Garden House

Well, if it’s on Alan Titchmarsh’s ‘must see’ list, it’s good enough for us. This eight-acre garden is actually several gardens in one, combining old and new. The beautiful walled garden surrounds the ruins of a medieval vicarage, while the newly developed Long Walk takes you through a variety of landscapes, from the South African garden, to the cottage garden to the flower meadow, with beautiful views along the way over the Cornish hills, and hidden benches to stop and soak up the sights and sounds of the countryside. Cakes, cream teas and lunches are served in the tea rooms in the 18th Century vicarage. Open February to November.

Beautiful

A lot of thought has obviously gone into the planting and layout of these gardens. The result is something quite beautiful, with unexpected views and unusual plants and flowers awaiting you around every corner.

Best visited in May and June. Unusual and quite beautiful planting schemes which will inspire. Also plant sales and a quaint little teashop.
