Glendurgan Garden, managed by the National Trust, is a lush subtropical paradise set in a deep valley near the Helford River. The garden’s centerpiece is a spectacular laurel maze planted in 1833, which delights visitors of all ages. Meandering paths lead through collections of tree ferns, camellias, and giant rhubarb, with a stream cascading down to a pebble beach. The sheltered microclimate allows tender plants to thrive, creating a verdant, otherworldly atmosphere. It’s a place for quiet exploration and discovery, with surprises around every bend.
Don't miss
- Navigate the historic laurel maze, one of the oldest in Britain.
- See the enormous Gunnera manicata (giant rhubarb) leaves near the stream.
- Descend to the private shingle beach on the Helford River for a peaceful moment.
