Trebah Gardens, Cornwall England

Exotic, wild and enchanted, full of unexpected corners and beautiful surprises.

Trebah is a magical 26-acre ravine garden descending to a private, secluded beach on the historic Helford River. A stream cascades over waterfalls, through ponds full of giant Koi carp and exotic water plants, through two acres of blue and white hydrangeas, before spilling out over the beach. Glades of enormous tree ferns, bamboos and palms mingle with giant gunnera and a rolling canopy of 100-year old rhododendrons, magnolias and a multitude of trees and shrubs, with ever changing colour and scent throughout the year.
