Gardens
Lamorran, Trelissick, Caerhays Castle and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are nearby; Glendurgan and Trebah are a short drive away on the Helford River. February and March are the best months to see magnolias and camellias; April and May, spring bulbs, rhododendrons, and sub-tropical shrubs; June and July, the spectacular profusion of hydrangeas and exotic succulents. Tours can be arranged with an expert to the gardens not usually open to the public; also day-trips to Tresco on the Scilly Isles.
