Trewidden Garden — Attraction in Madron

we went in the autumn which isnt the prime time as this is cleary a spring garden full of magnolia and camelia however it was still a beautiful walk. the tree fern dell was absolutely stunning and the pond surrounded in japanese anemone and colourful acers simply striking. For the horticulturally minded the specimin trees. champion trees and rare species which are very unusual in the uk and well worth a look. At just 7.50 the entry is more than reasonable for a cornish garden. parking is plentiful. toilets are open and their is a cafe serving the classic cream teas lunches and drinks. with a large outside seating area and a few indoor tables it is nice and accomodating. The current events mean maps arent provided although there is one you can photo (we tried to use it but found too much interesting things off the main route so soon ended up going off peg. If you do this be aware there is a lot within a small area and its easy to miss sections. dont be afraid to double back and try the little paths. For those who are more history minded the gardens are built on old mineworkings which are evident in the shaping of the ground now. Around the garden are numerous water containers turned into small wildlife/flower ponds all made from old equipment and make a lovely addition...

An amazing place run by people who care!

Our second visit to the area in as many years and we finally went to Trewidden instead of driving by commenting that we must go there! What a great decision.

We aren’t easy to accommodate with a baby and a dog but Trewidden delivered.

This place is wonderful. A little calm oasis. We had lunch at the tearoom and the food was beautiful and clearly prepared with thought and pride. The service was excellent. The staff enjoyed engaging with their customers and we heard more than one member of staff welcome customers like old friends and take the time to make recommendations about other places to visit and enjoy in the area. We had the gardens explained to us by a lady who literally looked delighted to tell us all about them.

We wandered around the beautiful gardens and returned to the tea room for a cream tea. Do not leave without having the cream tea. Outstanding!

Thank you Trewidden for a lovely afternoon. We will be back...

A wonderful, peaceful garden winding through a delightful collection of mostly Asian trees and shrubs. There are also the remains of a walled garden, a large pond and a water feature to enjoy. Large trees provide a cool and shaded walkway through the garden, which we managed with a baby buggy. There are a few bumpy bits on route but they can be managed with a buggy in tow if care is taken. I noticed many different herbaceous fragrances in the air today. There was much to enjoy in the different types of trees, ferns and other plantings. We had tea and cake at the end of our walk, which took us over an hour. The quality of the tea and cake was very good indeed, with generous amounts of jam and cream provided with the cream tea we ordered. Service was very friendly and the staff seemed genuinely happy and relaxed. A...
