Things to do
Long
Cross Victorian Gardens at Trelights (the only public gardens
on the North Cornish coast) remain in the original Victorian garden
layout, with trees, shrubberies, rock garden and pool - all
climatically and horticulturally well adapted to their seafront
location with strong salty winds.
Trerice is
a delightful, small, secluded Elizabethan Manor House built in
1571, with fine fireplaces, ceilings, furniture and clocks. Famed
for its barrel roofed Great Chamber, it also has lovely flowering
gardens and an old Cornish apple orchard, as well as an
experimental Tudor garden.
One of the most fascinating and complete Victorian houses in the
country, Lanhydrock is full
of period atmosphere. Don't miss the servants quarters for a real
'Upstairs Downstairs' experience. The garden has a stunning
collection of magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias, and 364 acres
of park and woodland sweeping down to the River Fowey.
