The Great Gardens of Cornwall

Open Wednesday and Friday
Wednesday and Friday 10:00 - 17:00 - April to September

The garden was conceived and designed as a whole albeit that the garden was constructed in three separate stages. The intention was to create an intimate garden very much in the mould of Mediterranean gardens with water ever-present both as a backdrop to the garden and with running water featured in the many pools and streams.

Many features are included to divide the garden into intimate compartments - i giardini segreti - which the visitor can find and explore. Hence there are areas of woodland, a water garden in Japanese style as well as temples and archways and a small bridge on which to lean to look out over the bay.
