GARDENS AND PLACES OF INTEREST
Because of its termperate climate, West Cornwall is blessed with many lovely gardens containing sub-tropical plants.
Trengwainton, the National Trust owned woodland garden, is a sheltered garden with exotic trees and shrubs, a winding stream and unusual walled gardens said to be built to the dimensions of Noah's Ark.
Trewidden has a combination of giant ferns growing amongst ancient tin workings and a formal walled garden.
Morrab Gardens contain many exotic plants as well as an elegant bandstand, a fountain and two ornamental ponds.
The beautiful Queen Anne House at Trereife is the perfect place for a family day out. Owner Tm Le Grice offers guided tours of the house, parterres, terraces and a tropical house with free-flying butterflies, tea room, pottery and play area.
The Eden Project although slightly further afield is easily accessible from St Just, as well as the sub-tropical gardens on the Isles of Scilly.
