hello
OH and I need a little break and are thinking of a couple of nights in cornwall, at the end of the month. Are there any gardens in the cornwall area that you know of? Also any suggestions on where abouts in cornwall to stay would be most appreciated
many thanks
We stayed in Lostwithiel a couple of months ago. Heligan and the Eden Dome are both within a short distance and well worth a visit. The Dutchy of Cornwall Nursery is also in the same village.
thanks - im now thinking about going to Padstow, any garden suggestions most welcome, tahnks

Hi Rosa - you could try Prideaux Place at Padstow - tel. 01841 532411 if you need to check opening times. I'm afraid I don't know Padstow area, but if you can tell me the names of some nearby towns I can probably find you some more in my Gardeners World "Gardens to visit" book. Nan x
Hi rosalba,
Cornwall is full of the most wonderful gardens, as you are staying for only a couple of nights, there will be too many to choose. I would go for Trebah and Glendurgan, both of these are just outside of Falmouth, do both in one day. Trevarno estate and gardens, Pine Lodge, best bet is to Google Cornish gardens, to find some near where you may be staying. Enjoy your stay. Mo.
near to Padstow is the Long Cross Victorian Gardens open to the public. It's part of the Long Cross Hotel and Gardens and they have a nice website. Lovely rooms too in case you might like to stay there, looks like £60-70 per person per night or thereabouts.
Of course you could just enjoy, for free, all the lovely walks around Padstow on the coast paths, as the Cornish ling [heather] should be in full bloom and makes a nice garden in itself
