The Lost Gardens of Heligan

Heligan is one of the most mysterious estates in England. Lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of WW1, this Sleeping Beauty was re-awakened in 1990 to become Europe’s largest garden restoration project. Today Heligan’s 200 acres are a paradise for the explorer, wildlife, plant lover and garden romantic.

Very interesting, it was lovely to see both historical and up to date parts all in these gardens, there are some very rugged areas so I recommend anyone planning a visit to wear good footwear, Exploring the gardens can be as exerting or relaxing as you like, Personally, I preferred these gardens to the Eden Project

Reviewed By Shaunie2005 - St Austell, United Kingdom

Definitely worth a couple hours of your time if you are passing. Stunning views. Great place to take photos and to take 10 minutes out to just sit and enjoy the view. Used to visit regularly when we lived in Roche moved to St Austell but hopefully 2021 will be the year we return to the village!

Charlestown Harbour

Charlestown Harbour is set on the rugged, stunning, South Cornish Coastline. Charlestown is the last open 18th Century Georgian harbour in the UK and is proud to be a UNESCO world heritage site.

The Harbour has a unique history and geography and remains a vibrant working port, with classic Tallships, beautiful beaches and great places to eat and drink whilst enjoying the breath-taking views

The harbour itself is picturesque and atmospheric with the Tall ships moored there. Shipwreck Museum is interesting and the tunnel of lights at Christmas was a unique and delightful attraction.
