The Lost Gardens of Heligan
England, United Kingdom
The Lost Gardens of Heligan is a 200‑acre historic estate in south‑east Cornwall, near St Austell, once the private gardens of the Tremayne family and later lost under decades of brambles after the First World War.
Rediscovered and restored in the 1990s with help from the Eden Project team, it is now one of the most famous garden‑restoration projects in Europe, blending Victorian pleasure gardens with working productive gardens and a lush jungle valley.
The site includes formal lawns, walled kitchen gardens, exotic sub‑tropical planting in the “Jungle,” a crystal grotto, a fascinating wildlife project, and extensive woodland and coastal walks. Visitors can explore orchards, heritage fruit and vegetables, rare‑breed animals, and imaginative sculptures while enjoying a strong sense of history, nature, and seasonal horticultural display.
