Trelissick Garden
A tiered garden that enjoys panoramic views towards Falmouth and the sea. The sheltered garden is great for picnics. In summer, it's a beautiful setting for open-air theatre performances.

Potager Garden and Glasshouse Cafe
Gardens don't get much more chilled out than this; laze in a hammock, take a snooze among the trees or take tea in the glasshouse. Potager was selected for Alistair Sawdays' 'Slow England' guide for its uniquely calm atmosphere - soak it up and enjoy the beautiful, relaxed surroundings. If you are careful with your carbon footprint and arrive on foot, bike or on the bus, entry is free to the garden!

Burncoose Nurseries
Many delights await in this 30-acre woodland garden. Much of the charm lies in its carpets of bluebells, primroses, snowdrops and wild violets, which grow in abundance in late winter and spring. Great care has been taken not to spoil its natural woodland feel, by adopting sympathetic maintenance of the garden.
10
Pinetum Park
Pinetum Park is an impressive feat when you consider it was established by a couple of amateur enthusiasts - 80 acres of Cornwall have been divided into ten themed gardesn, showcasing plants from all over the world. A particular selling point is the winter garden, making this a must-visit all year round.
