Thirty 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.
This year, we have planted an incredible 15 acres of wildflower meadow for you to lose yourself in. Cornflowers, corn chamomile, poppies and corn marigolds will come together to create an incredible visual backdrop to summer at The Lost Gardens. 18 July – 6th September
This summer, we invite you to take part in a ‘Summer Wellbeing Experience’, part of a new collaboration between Heligan and South West based GP Dr Lucy Loveday. This unique summer journey has been created against a backdrop of “growing scientific evidence that reveals the value that nature experience has to benefit our mental health and wellbeing” – Dr Lucy Loveday. 18 July – 6th September
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. Please note that this tour has now sold out.
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!
