Trebah Gardens
Spanning 26 acres, it boasts a stunning array of exotic plants, winding pathways, and tranquil streams. The garden’s history dates back over 180 years, and its unique coastal microclimate allows a wide variety of plants to thrive, from towering bamboo to magnificent tree ferns.
One of Trebah’s most enchanting features is its valley, which leads down to a secluded beach on the Helford River. Along the way, visitors can explore lush canopies of vibrant flowers and foliage, including hydrangeas, camellias, and rhododendrons, making spring and summer particularly spectacular times to visit. The garden also has a rich wartime history, as the beach was used as an embarkation point for American troops during the D-Day landings in World War II.
In addition to its botanical wonders, Trebah offers family-friendly activities, including a children's play area and seasonal events. Whether you're a plant enthusiast, a history buff, or just looking for a peaceful day out, Trebah Garden provides a beautiful, immersive experience, blending natural beauty with historic charm in one of Cornwall’s most serene settings.
