Trenance Gardens — Attraction in Great Britain

I often take a stroll around Trenance Gardens and the boating lake. Its so soothing for the soul. 💛

There's a lovely little cafe at Trenance Cottages, serving delicious cakes and coffee, with tables inside and outside, wheelchair accessible.

The Trenance Heritage Centre Cottages are open to visitors curious to venture in. There are lovely original pictures, nic-naks, memorabilia from a bygone era, and you can learn about the history and adventures of the local lifeboat crew from the super-friendly volunteer staff there.

I was fascinated to learn how the Heritage Centre set up their function room for weddings, often in traditional country style, which sounds incredibly romantic!! 💝💘

I found some gorgeous 'olde-worlde' souvenirs, and it was like stepping back in time seeing how they've got the place set out. Well worth a visit!!

The cottages are not really suitable for wheelchairs inside as they're understandably original tiny cottages, and if you want to explore upstairs there's a steep narrow staircase (I highly recommend finding your way upstairs, as it's like something from The Railway Children).

Trenance Gardens itself is an amazing experience for wheelchair users or those with other abilities, because the whole experience is a treat for the senses. Discover the gorgeous rose garden with its pergola and arched pathway, scented and colourful, with over a hundred varieties of roses.

Further along there's a cafe by the boating lake where you can buy a bag of bird food to feed the ducks and swans, but be wary of those pesky seagulls!

For the young at heart there are pedalos for hire. Suitable for two adults and maybe two older children if they're cooperative, but definitely two smaller children would fit fine.

Watch out for the fountain so you don't get a sudden soaking! Of course my grandchildren peddled directly towards the fountain and got a soaking, which was hilarious until their mum came to collect them! (Oops! But that's what Nanas are for!) 😁

It's a real treasure taking the grandchildren around Trenance Gardens and down to the adjoining boating lake. Very convenient to have the choice of cafés right there as well. There are public toilets in Trenance Gardens itself.

Free short term parking alongside, all the way around the lake area. If you're on foot it's a ten minute walk from the Waterpark/Newquay Zoo/Tennis courts. Walk under the impressive viaduct, and there's a safe crossing leading directly to the gardens. Magical, fun or romantic, depending on your mood. 😊

There is a VERY RARE and endangered tree which has just been planted at Trenance Gardens, called a Wallemi Pine. It was first discovered in 1994 in the Blue Mountains, 100 miles north of Sidney Australia.

At that time these Pines were thought to have died out over two million years ago. They are now being planted under strict conditions and watchful eyes, in various places around the world. The Wollemi Pine is a treasured addition to Trenance Gardens. It's perhaps a once in lifetime opportunity to...
