Glendurgan Garden
Enys Garden
A peaceful, exotic and playful valley
garden that leads down to a sheltered
beach. Glendurgan is a place for
relaxation and reflection as well as
adventure and play.
Amazing spring colour begins with
camellias, followed by magnolias,
rhododendrons and a carpet of
bluebells in May.
The garden also offers dramatic autumn
colour.
In summer it is a haven for wildlife. Look
out for colourful butterflies and listen to
bees buzzing among the flowers.

Tregothnan Tea
The UK’s first tea gardens thrive in
a unique climate thanks to the 18
metre deep sea creek of the River Fal.
Tregothnan pioneered tea growing
using their botanical know-how,
creating an international home
for truly English tea!
After two decades of cultivation and
growth, the range extends to home
grown herbal teas and unique English
82
grown Manuka (which estate bees thrive
on to produce Cornish Manuka honey).
The team also proudly tend to a
selection of rare apple orchards…
and the world-famous Kea Plum
orchards, only found on this small
stretch of the River Fal.
You can enjoy these pioneering tea
gardens for yourself on a guided tour
or purchase the teas, honey, preserves
and other estate delights by visiting the
estate shop or heading online.
