Glendurgan Gardens are set in a wooded valley near Mawnan
Smith. The gardens drop steeply as you follow the valley down
to the hamlet of Durgan on the shore of the Helford Estuary.
Glendurgan is one of the great subtropical gardens of the
South West. Exotic trees and shrubs flourish amidst open
glades carpeted with wild flowers. The warm microclimate of
the Helford Estuary area enables the garden to support a wide
range of exotic trees and shrubs. Mawnam Smith, Falmouth.

Helston

Godolphin House is a 15th century house with displays of horse drawn vehicles, reproduction
maps, prints and documents as well as arms and armour. Old roses and herbs for sale. Teas in
aid of charity on all open days.

The House, was the home of the Godolphin family until the middle of the 18th century. Today’s
structure is only part of what was once a very extensive granite-built Tudor and Stuart house. The
Godolphins, made their fortune from the local tin-mining industry, becoming one of the leading
families of West Cornwall.

Poldark Tin Mine and Gardens Described as a ‘Jewel in the Crown of the Cornish Mining World
Heritage Site’ the mine tour gives a unique insight into working conditions in 18th and early 19th
century tin mines and into Cornwall’s geology. It is the only complete underground mine open to
the public in Cornwall and Devon. Wendron, Nr Helston.

Trewithen Gardens Created by George Johnstone over 100 years ago, these spectacular gardens
cover 30 acres and include collections of camellias; rhododendrons; magnolias and many other
shrubs and trees which are seldom found anywhere else in the country. Grampound Rd, Nr. Truro.

Trelissick Gardens The estate is renowned for its position at the head of Carrick Roads, with views
down the estuary towards Falmouth and the sea and intriguing glimpses of boats moored in tidal
creeks and small hamlets that have changed little over the last hundred years.

Trelissick is one of Cornwall’s premier gardens. Landscaped on many levels the garden has a
superb collection of tender and exotic plants with displays of colour throughout the year. Feock,
Truro.
