Trelissick Garden

Trelissick Garden is a listed park spanning around 30 acres with extensive collections of hydrangeas, rhododendrons, and camellias arranged throughout the grounds. Winding pathways connect different sections and pass structures like summerhouses that shape the visitor experience.

The estate dates to the 13th century, with the main house built in 1750 and significantly reshaped during the 1800s. These successive changes left their mark on the current layout and design.

The grounds were historically used for community gatherings and sporting events that connected the estate to local traditions. This social role shaped how the space is laid out and used by visitors today.

The grounds are easy to navigate with marked paths and clearly defined areas to explore. On-site facilities including a café and shop make it straightforward to spend several hours comfortably.

Flowers from the gardens inspired designs at a renowned china manufacturer. This connection between horticulture and decorative arts reveals the wider influence this place had on design traditions.
