Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens
Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is a garden in a valley near Penzance in Cornwall where artworks are placed among exotic plants. The site spreads across a slope with open views toward St Michael's Mount and the sea.
The land was once held by monks from St Michael's Mount before Michael De Tremenheere bought it in 1295 and his family kept it for many generations. In 1997, Dr. Neil Armstrong began developing the site into the gardens you see today.
The gardens blend art with nature in a way that invites visitors to pause and think. The artworks feel naturally woven into the landscape, so that sculpture and plants enhance each other.
The site is best explored with comfortable shoes because there are many uneven paths and slopes throughout. There is parking on site and the café offers a good place to rest with views of the coast.
The galleries feature works by Royal Academy of Arts members, and artists such as James Turrell and David Nash have left their lasting mark here. The restaurant offers views of St Michael's Mount and serves meals made with local ingredients.
