Car Parking

A limited number of free parking spaces are available within the main car park at The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

We have been made aware of charges which have been introduced by our neighbours who own the nearby overflow car parking field.

The free spaces in our main Heligan car park are prioritised for blue badge holders, local pass holders and Heligan members.  These spaces are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis and cannot be reserved.

To clearly identify local pass holders and members arriving at Heligan by car, please collect a car sticker at your next visit. You can collect this sticker from our reception and admissions teams.
