The Lost Gardens of Heligan is one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK. The style of the gardens is typical of the nineteenth century Gardenesque style, with areas of different character and in different design styles.
The gardens boast a wonderful collection of aged and immense rhododendrons and camellias, a series of lakes, flower and vegetable gardens, an Italian garden and a stunning wild area filled with subtropical tree ferns called “The Jungle”.
The gardens also display Europe’s only remaining pineapple pit and two figures made from rocks and plants known as the Mud Maid and the Giant’s Head.
The gardens were created by members of the Cornish Tremayne family, over a period from the mid-18th century up to the beginning of the 20th century, and still form part of the family's Heligan estate.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan completely surrounds Heligan House and its private gardens. They lie 1.5 miles to the north east of the fishing village of Mevagissey. The gardens are six miles by road from the town and railway station of St Austell.
