Bosvigo

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.

Proud winners of a gold medal at the Chelsea Flower show, Burncoose provides a 30 acre woodland garden for visitors to enjoy, with an award-winning nursery attached. The garden is at its best in late winter and early spring, when daffodils, bluebells, primroses, snowdrops, and other early flowering plants provide a welcome carpet of colour.

| Lanhydrock
|
|
House, courtyard and church built 1640, though largely restored in 1881 following a fire. See both family and servants rooms, furnished in the Edwardian style, including extensive kitchens. Long (116 feet) Jacobean gallery survived the fire, and you can be glad it did, for it has a wonderful plasterwork ceiling.
Garden: Park, woodlands, and formal gardens surround Victorian house. Wooded walks among rare trees and shrubs, rose beds, yew hedges, terraced annuals. Rhododendrons and camellias offer colour through the spring and summer.
