Caerhays: location map.
is an informal woodland garden overlooking the sea and extending to over 60 acres. The origins of the garden can be traced back to the work of the Chinese plant hunters at the turn of the Century and many of their new plant introductions can still be seen in maturity in the garden today.
Caerhays is home to the x williamsii camellia hybrids but is perhaps best known for its huge, Asiatic magnolias which are usually in their prime in March and April.
The castle is open for conducted tours on certain days.
