About Trengwainton Garden

What you'll do

Wander with your dog along tree-lined paths
Enjoy the tranquillity of the two Silent Spaces.
Buy a plant or gift from the shop
Treat yourself to cakes or light lunches in the café
Relax amongst 25 acres of garden

A sheltered garden that’s nestled between the moors and the sea and nurtures an award-winning plant collection. Winding wooded paths climb to an open, grassy terrace with sea views across Mount’s Bay.

A gentle stream runs through the centre and the carriage drive is bordered by colourful streamside planting and meadows.

Ten sections of walled gardens each have their own character and include ornamental and productive sections and a sensory garden.

There’s a café, gift shop, plant centre and second-hand bookshop.

Throughout the open season, family-friendly activities take place each school holiday.

Frequently asked questions

Are dogs allowed?

Yes, well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome throughout the garden and café garden (assistance dogs only inside the café and second-hand bookshop).

How accessible is the garden?

The garden is on an incline so manual wheelchair users are likely to need assistance from a strong companion. The main drive is tarmac and other paths are gravel. An electric mobility Tramper is available to hire (T&Cs apply). See Trengwainton's website for full access statement.

Are there things to do with my children?

Yes, we have family-friendly activities each school holiday and during term times a section of the walled kitchen garden is set aside for quiet picnics and simple play items that are likely to appeal to under fives.
