|||||
| Beautifully positioned at the head of the Fal estuary, the estate commands panoramic views over the area and has extensive park and woodland walks beside the river. At its heart is the tranquil garden, set on many levels and containing a superb collection of tender and exotic plants which bring colour thoughout the year. The display of Spring blossom is particularly delightful. The house is not open, but there is an arts and crafts gallery, shop, two restaurants and a fine Georgian stable block. | ||||||
| History of Garden | ||||||
| The current garden was laid out in the 1920's and 1930's by Mr. & Mrs. Ronald Copeland. It was given to the National Trust in 1955. | ||||||
