Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 10 reviews
A circular walk through the mature broadleaf woodland in the less well-known areas of the Lanhydrock estate, through bluebell woods and along the River Fowey, past the mediaeval bridge at Respryn, built after numerous prayers for safe passage in the ford-side chapel, had not resulted in the desired outcome. 3.8 miles. Steepness: easy-moderate.

A quiet circular walk through the woods that is on a mixture of trails and paved paths. There are plenty of options to lengthen the walk if you wish with a network of paths throughout the woods. Even though we did the walk on August Bank Holiday it was not at all crowded and we were on our own most the time.

Countryside estate with a neo classical house and woodland garden full of rare and exotic plants. Situated on a maritime peninsula with stunning views of the River Fal.
Reviewed By S5871YIdavidd - Blakeney, United Kingdom
This is a truly diverse garden situated on a steep valley descending to the bank of the Fal river. The house and garden are managed by the National Trust and offers extensive gardens and woodland walks for the whole family, including discovery of viewpoints and garden houses for children to visit. At the lowest point of the garden lies the River Fal and access out of the garden to see the King Harry vehicle ferry crossing the river by means of one of only 2 chain ferries still operating in the U.K. In addition, the house at the head of the valley can be viewed, and a very good cafe is available nearby together with an excellent secondhand bookshop and plant sales shop.

Heligan is one of the most mysterious estates in England. Lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of WW1, this Sleeping Beauty was re-awakened in 1990 to become Europe’s largest garden restoration project. Today Heligan’s 200 acres are a paradise for the explorer, wildlife, plant lover and garden romantic.
