Trebah Gardens

The Gardens Parish of Mawnan

Trebah

Trebah is a uniquely beautiful, 26 acre Cornish ravine garden which descends to a private beach on the Helford River—the wild and magical result of 160 years of inspired and dedicated creation.
First planted by Charles Fox in the 1840’s, the garden includes
glades of sub-tropical ferns and palms which mingle with a
forest of trees and shrubs in ever-changing colours and scents, contained beneath a canopy of century-old rhododendrons and magnolias.

The recent award of “Garden of the Year 2004” in The Good Britain Guide confirms Trebah’s listing as among the 80 finest gardens in the world.

The new £1.6 million Hibbert Centre contains a new Gift Shop,
a spacious new Planter's Cafe, and
you will find a wide range of conservatory and
outdoor plants in the garden Shop.

Much attention has been given to making this a child-friendly garden with several play areas and trails for all ages. This is truly a Paradise for Gardeners, Artists and Families.
