What can I say but 'WOW'. An amazing hidden gem up the Gover Valley from St. Austell. The owners, Heather & Keith, have worked hard to transform this industrial site into a green and lush environment which welcomes visitors into a beautiful & natural landscape. The planting is soft and blends easily into the surrounding woodland with a beautiful lawn area to relax on. Beautifully planned with separate 'rooms' divided by natural borders, this is a must visit garden for those looking for natural beauty, tranquility and an immersion experience in nature. The local wild birds are in abundance and happily feed on the bird feeders with visitors close by. A surprise around every corner shows the dedication of Heather & Keith along with the pride they have in their creation. You must visit to experience their amazing hospitality & knowledge, Heather with the garden and baking, Keith with the abundant local history and industrial past. After our 1st visit we felt like part of the family and enjoyed our cuppa on the patio with their feline friends and a chat with Heather and Keith. In conclusion this is an amazing garden which blends with the natural landscape looked after by a lovely, friendly, dedicated couple. A bit hard to find (just follow the track straight up the Gover Valley from the Gover Viaduct) but well worth it when you arrive. All being well we will hopefully return next year on our annual Cornish holiday to check in on this stunning garden and their...

It's full of history and some of the remains of the China Clay works are still to be found. Go there,it's off the beaten track and all the...
Read moreTreglyn is, without a doubt, one of my favourite places in Cornwall. An absolute jewel of a garden tucked away in a secluded valley, it is the definition of idyllic. Keith and Heather are incredibly kind, welcoming, and thoughtful, and they serve a lovely cream tea to boot! Stroke the cats, surround yourself with beautiful plants and flowers, sit on the grass and read a book, have a scone, then stroke the cats again. I truly can't imagine a...
