Trengwainton Garden
Recommended by
Overview
Thanks to the globe-trotting adventures of the 1920s plant hunters, Trengwainton is home to many plants which flowered here for the first time outside their original habitat. Award-winning magnolias and rhododendrons are still nurtured by those with a passion for plants, and sub-tropical species from around the world thrive in the shelter of the walled gardens, including a kitchen garden built to the dimensions of Noah's Ark. Winding, wooded paths follow a half-mile incline to sea views across Mounts Bay, and the descent via the drive is bordered by a colourful stream garden and open meadows.
