The Lost Gardens of Heligan: Unveiled in 1992 from under decades of overgrowth, the Lost Gardens were restored on a shoestring budget and hailed by The Times as “…the garden restoration of the century”. Today the mysterious gardens and estate offer over 200 acres for exploration. Discover romantic Victorian Productive Gardens and Pleasure Grounds along winding paths laid out over two centuries ago. Get lost in our exotic outdoor Jungle whilst adventuring past giant rhubarb and through tunnels of towering bamboo. Ancient woodlands and pasturelands are managed to promote wildlife, which is celebrated at our pioneering Wildlife Project, offering an intimate view of native fauna.

Ten of the Best Kitchen Gardens by Veronica Peerless

"Once upon a time, the veg and fruit gardens at Heligan fed the Tremayne family and were tended by an army of gardeners. Nowadays, over 200 varieties of heritage fruit, veg, salads and herbs from the lovingly restored gardens supply the tearoom. Look out for the tunnel of apple trees, cleverly planted in order of their vulnerability to frost in spring."
