Step outside and see Cornwall's gardens come alive
Cornwall is home to some of the UK's most beautiful gardens, from subtropical valleys and historic estates to coastal gardens filled with exotic plants. Best Days Out Cornwall features a handpicked collection of gardens, each offering something unique to discover throughout the seasons.
Many gardens in Cornwall offer far more than beautiful planting. Think woodland trails, play areas, cafés, seasonal events and family activities, that make them enjoyable days out for visitors of all ages.
Dog policies vary between gardens. Some welcome dogs throughout the grounds, while others restrict access to certain areas. It's always worth checking the individual attraction before you visit, or you can check our dog friendly attraction guide here.
Several of the gardens featured by Best Days Out Cornwall are cared for by the National Trust, alongside privately owned historic estates that welcome visitors throughout the year.
Many gardens have accessible routes, mobility-friendly paths and accessible facilities, although some historic landscapes include steep slopes or uneven ground. Individual attraction pages include information to help you plan your visit.
