Today The Lost Gardens offer over 200 acres for exploration including Victorian Productive and Pleasure Gardens, a sub-tropical Jungle brimming with exotic plantings, ancient broadleaved woodlands and a Wildlife Project offering visitors an intimate view of native wildlife.
Heligan, seat of the Tremayne family for more than 400 years, is one of the most mysterious estates in England. At the end of the nineteenth century its thousand acres were at their zenith, but only a few years later bramble and ivy were already drawing a green veil over this 'Sleeping Beauty'. After decades of neglect, the devastating hurricane of 1990 should have consigned the Lost Gardens of Heligan to a footnote in history.
