Glendurgan Garden
A sheltered valley garden bordering the Helford River next door to Trebah. 'A little 'peace' of heaven on earth' is how the Fox family, who donated Glendurgan to the National Trust, described the garden. With fine trees, rare and exotic plants from all over the world, carpets of wild flowers, and stunning spring displays of camellias and magnolias, it is a little slice of peace served up on the banks of the Helford. The Maze and the 'Giant's Stride' rope swing are firm favourites with the kids; the impressive Laurel Maze will baffle and delight all ages.

Melinsey Mill
Medieval water mill set deep in a wooded valley. There is a small mill museum, craft shop and very popular cafe famed for its light lunches and delicious home-made pastries and cakes. The water wheel (cast by Harris & Polmear of the City Foundry, Truro in 1882) is working and you can sit and watch the ducks and other wildlife around the picnic tables under the trees.
