A variety of garden areas surround a Georgian house on the outskirts of Truro. A walled garden, Victorian conservatory, topiary, a woodland walk, and several themed colour gardens add interest throughout the growing season. The Hot Garden is themed to provide red blossoming plants for a burst of sultry colour in August, while the Pink and Grey garden provides a more soothing environment to relax in.

Heligan was the family seat of the Tremaynes for over 400 years. By the early 20th century the house fell into neglect and the gardens were allowed to become overgrown. Now an ambitious reclamation scheme has pushed back the years and allows visitors to see these glorious slumbering gardens as they once were. The most exciting part of the restored gardens is the Pleasure Grounds, a network of exciting garden features linked by winding paths. Included are Italian gardens, New Zealand garden, ravine garden, greenhouse featuring exotic fruits, a wishing well, and crystal grotto. A constant delight.
