Glendurgan Garden, Falmouth, Cornwall

Superb subtropical garden with year-round interest.

• Stunning garden running down to the tiny village of Durgan and its beach
• Outstanding spring displays of magnolias and camellias
• Laurel maze and reconstructed cob and thatch schoolroom

Running down to the tiny village of Durgan and its beach, the garden has many fine trees and rare and exotic plants, with outstanding spring displays of magnolias and camellias.

In their season, glorious displays of wild flowers carpet the valley slopes. The laurel maze, dating from 1833, puzzles both young and old. An original cob and thatch schoolroom has been reconstructed. The house is privately occupied.
