Tregrehan Garden — Attraction in St. Blaise

An exceptional garden, beautifully maintained with so many rare and interesting specimens especially from southeast Asia and New Zealand. 25 acres of surprises, from the walled garden and enormous Victorian greenhouse - full of colour and vigour although no longer artificially heated (bravo) - to the spectacular valley garden and stream lined with mature Dicksonia tree ferns.

Superb garden for tree lovers..best we have seen in Cornwall!

An absolute gem! Much bigger than I imagined. Really good value, stunning trees, some are enormous and clearly very old.

We come to Cornwall every year and stay at Pentewan but I wish we had discovered this garden before now. I think it will become one of our regular haunts. Some of the paths are rather steep but we'll worth the climb. Could do with a few more seats and some better signposting but we will definitely...
