The Lost Gardens of Heligan (Cornwall’s tropical plants)
The Lost Gardens of Heligan near St Austell were rediscovered in 1990, lost to overgrowth since World War 1. Names of the gardeners had been etched into walls, before they went off to serve.
Dogs are allowed in some areas (not the Burma Rope Bridge) but due to lack of shady parking areas, they recommend not visiting these areas. Dogs are also not allowed in some areas of the Eden Project, as the biomes are too hot. Read updated information (never leave dogs in cars).
Many flowers (including all bulbs and some wildflowers) are not safe near animal friends. Read more on pet-friendly gardens (and never face indoor foliage to gardens, to help stop birds flying into windows).
This 200 acre paradise features Europe’s only remaining pineapple pit (it takes 2 years to grow one!), giant living mud sculptures and a sub-tropical jungle valley.
