Twenty-nine years ago, Heligan’s historic gardens were unknown and unseen; lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of WW1. It was only the chance discovery of a door in the ruins that led to the restoration of this once great estate. Today, The Lost Gardens have been put back where they belong: in pride of place among the finest gardens in England.
In the spirit of New Year, this January and February we invite you to ‘turn over a new leaf’ and connect with nature. Pop your wellies on and join us for a healthy, restorative walk to truly appreciate the wonders of winter at Heligan.
Join The Lost Gardens this January in the Heligan Wildlife Hide as we take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch.
Experienced Heligan Tour Guide David Hogg invites you to join him for an in depth tour of the Gardens. These relaxed and informal tours will be held on various dates at 10:30am.
Whether you’re looking to experience a traditional Cornish Cream Tea or sample some of the heritage fruit and vegetables grown here at Heligan, the Heligan Kitchen & Bakery provides the perfect retreat.
At the Lost Gardens there’s a network of magical gardens, woodland walks and farmland brimming with interest and intrigue; and with over 200 acres – enough room to tire the most energetic little legs!
Join Tim for one of these exclusive tours to hear all about the original discovery of The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the tales of the restoration and his ambition for Heligan for the next 30 years.
We will be closed on Thursday 30th January for staff training. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
We’re very proud to announce that we have collaborated with Trevethan Distillery to produce ‘Lost Garden Rum’.
