The Lost Gardens of Heligan

Abandoned after the First World War, Heligan Estate has since restored its rambling gardens to their former glory, and then some. Stroll from the walled kitchen garden, heavy with heritage vegetables, to the glasshouses where exotic fruits ripen, before plunging into subtropical valleys strung with giant ferns, palms, and a rope bridge that sways through the thick jungle. Intricate details bring the place to life – like the Mud Maid half-hidden in moss – or the buzz of bees in the wildflower meadows. Grab a homemade ice cream or a sausage roll for one of the many food stops, and you could get lost there for hours.
