Trelissick

Trelissick is a garden of rare beauty, set as the jewel in an estate of 500 acres, which is surrounded by water on three sides. The garden is a plantsman's delight, with collections of rare and exotic shrubs that thrive in the mild Cornish climate. Of particular renown are large collections of hydrangeas, rhododendrons, camellias and magnolias. The garden also has the National Collections of Photinias and Azaras. The planting within the garden has been developed to provide colour throughout the year.

As well as the garden there are five miles of woodland walks on the estate to enjoy, many of which follow the side of the River Fal and its creeks, and are a delight with the shipping and wildlife to enjoy.

There is a restaurant, a shop and two galleries. The restaurant sells food that is prepared mainly from local produce. The shop sells an exciting range of gifts, of which many are locally produced. The two galleries have a range of both arts and crafts that are all inspired and produced in Cornwall.

There is an exciting range of events throughout the year: check out the National Trust website on the Trelissick page for further details.
