Lost Gardens of Heligan

http://www.heligan.com

Open all year round Heligan, seat of the Tremayne family for over 400 years, is one of the most mysterious estates in England. Between 1770 and 1914, four generations created an almost self sufficient community. A century ago the garden was thriving and productive. Gradual decline set in following the departure of the last resident squire in the 1920s. Brambles and ivy were drawing a veil over this "sleeping beauty" but in 1990 following decades of neglect the gardens were rescued from overgrowth and decay

More than twenty five years have now passed and the immaculate and award winning restoration of Heligan's productive heart has come of age! Ideally you should spend a whole day at Heligan as there are over 200 acres to explore. There is a Tea-Room, a Shop and a Plant Centre.
