Glendurgan Garden
Recommended by
Overview
Glendurgan was described by its creators Alfred and Sarah Fox, as a "small piece of heaven on earth." Visitors can explore the garden's three valleys, which run down to the sheltered beach. There is also a puzzling maze, which will amuse the children; and in early spring a glorious display of camellias, magnolias and primroses will delight visitors of all ages. In May the rhododendrons and bluebells come out, followed by the exotic greens of summer and autumn's dramatic browns and oranges.
