Lost Gardens of Heligan
approx. 5 miles from Silvermine House
200 acres of garden history, mystery and romance
Twenty-five years ago, Heligan’s historic gardens were unknown and unseen; lost under a tangle of weeds. It was only the chance discovery of a door in the ruins that led to the restoration of this once great estate. Today, The Lost Gardens have been put back where they belong: in pride of place among the finest gardens in Cornwall.
The contemporary focus is to work with nature, accepting and respecting it and protecting and enhancing the variety of habitats with which the project is endowed.
