Caerhays Castle and Gardens
Located between Fowey and Falmouth, this private home welcomes cruise passengers to the Gardens and the Castle. There are many collections on display and displays alter year by year but include Victorian Jugs, the crockery used for running the house (19th Century Houses were very labour intensive), the Bric-a-Brac of an Edwardian Billiard Room and much more.

Eden Project
The Eden Project communicates its story in a ‘Living Theatre of Plants and People’ based in a large crater in which nestle two vast greenhouses (Biomes). These house plants, crops and landscapes from the humid tropics and warm temperate regions and act as a backdrop to the temperate landscape, which we call the Outdoor Biome.

Glendurgan Garden
Glendurgan has been described as a “little bit of heaven on earth”, and this truly is what it is. A valley garden made of three valleys that come together, and run down to the tiny hamlet of Durgan. The garden has plants from all around the world; it was established by the Fox family, who were Quakers. More information.

Godolphin House & Gardens
Godolphin was considered in the 17th century to be the most fashionable house in Cornwall. Centuries of benign neglect have given the house and garden and surrounding estate buildings an extraordinary haunting air of antiquity and peace. Miraculously the garden has barely changed since the 14th and 16th centuries, with the latest fashions passing it by.

Lanhydrock House
Full of period atmosphere and the trappings of a high Victorian country house, the house also retains the atmosphere of the family home of the Agar-Robartes. Highlights include the great kitchen, an evocative nursery wing, and 17th century long gallery with plaster ceiling depicting biblical scenes. The garden features a stunning collection of magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias, and offers fine colours right through into autumn. More information.

Place Manor
Place has been the home of the Treffry family since the 15th century. The house and gardens stand above the port of Fowey like a castle on the Danube, with the town sheltering beneath the towers of Place where a gang of Bretons were driven from Place by Thomas the Younger's wife Elizabeth Treffry, who is supposed to have poured boiling lead on their heads from the tower.

Trelissick Garden
A magical garden situated at the head of the River Fal, in spring the garden is a delight with camellias, magnolias, rhododendrons, and azaleas in full bloom. In summer unlike many Cornish gardens, Trelissick has summer boarders that provide a riot of colour. As part of your visits it will be possible to arrange a garden tour with one of the garden team.

Trelowarren
A thousand years of history have preceded you at Trelowarren, the home of the Vyvyan family who have lived here since 1427. Around the estate are woodland walks, and the Halliggye fogou; a series of strange Neolithic underground chambers the use of which is unknown and today the home of bats and spiders but mustn’t be missed for its sheer mystery.
