Trelissick Garden
Near the small settlement of Feock, on the outskirts of the city of Truro, the administrative capital of Cornwall, sits the memorable Trelissick Garden. Located in a spectacular setting, it features glorious views over Fal River estuary and Carrick roads down to the town of Falmouth itself.
Extensive parkland, shrubland and woodland combine to make Trelissick Garden a perennial favourite with visitors who come to enjoy the year-round displays of colour. Tranquil, beautiful and with many rare and exotic plantings, there are few better ways of spending a morning or afternoon than walking though and exploring this English garden. To tune-in with Mother Nature even further, why not make an environmentally-friendly journey to Trelissick? It is possible to travel here via the passenger-only foot ferry which operates during the summer months from Truro, Falmouth or St Mawes.
The gardens are owned and maintained by the National Trust and the admissions area includes a shop, restaurant, art and craft gallery and plant sales. For those with an interest in fine collectable pottery, the nearby Trelissick House is famous for its special exhibitions of Copeland Spode China, which take place once a week on Thursday.
