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.
We will be closed on Thursday 30th January for staff training. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
This half term step into the natural world to discover Heligan’s native wildlife.
