Trewithen Gardens:

covering some thirty acres and created in the early years of the last century, are outstanding and internationally famous.

They are renowned for their magnificent collection of camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias and many rare trees and shrubs which are seldom found elsewhere in Britain. The extensive woodland gardens are surrounded by traditional landscaped parkland. Other attractions include a children’s playground and a video presentation of the house and gardens. The gardens are one of the only two in this county to be awarded three stars by the Michelin Guide to the South-West. Teas and light refreshments are available.

Nursery and Plant Centre:

offers a wide range of plants and shrubs for sale. Over 1,500 varieties and species are available, and retail or wholesale orders are welcomed.

House:

The origins of the house go back to the seventeenth century but it was the architect Sir Robert Taylor, aided by Thomas Edwards of Greenwich, who was responsible for the splendid building and interiors we see today. Philip Hawkins bought the property in 1715 and began extensive rebuilding. The house has been lived in and cared for by the same family since that date.
