National Trust Trelissick is a tranquil and varied National Trust garden on the Fal River with a superb collection of tender and exotic plants.

Starting in a complex of former farm buildings and garden walls, explore this elevated garden with its views of deep wooded valleys and flashes of blue water.

Trelissick sits on its own peninsula in an unspoilt stretch of the Fal River. Picturesque planting is heightened by the folding contours and the informal wooded setting.

There are places in both the sun and the shade to discover a wide range of plants and areas to sit down and recharge your batteries.

The house itself was built in the 1750s and has been home to many families since, tin miners, farmers, industrialists and politicians. The house is open regularly for you to marvel at the view, discover its history or even play the piano!
