Trebah Gardens

One of the great gardens of the world, Trebah is a ravine garden covering 25 acres. Subtropical plants at the top of the ravine give way to rainforest below, including bamboo and bananas. The ravine falls for 200 feet down to the Helford River. A further two acres of hydrangeas provide colour throughout. There are exotic plants gathered from all over the world, including glades of subtropical tree ferns. Best in: March-October.

At the foot of the garden is a private beach, a good spot for picnics and swimming. Children's activities include educational trails, two play areas, and a paraglide.
