Read more

Heligan is a set of Victorian gardens near Mevagissey that were neglected after the First World War and restored in the 1990s. The story is a big part of the visit: 16 of the gardeners died in the war, and the gardens were lost to the brambles before being brought back to life.

Tip: Pre-booking is advisable for day visitors, and if you use a sat nav, approach via St Austell and follow the brown signs to avoid narrow single-track lanes.

Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

Lindsey Davis, Surrey
July 2010

Without a doubt this was one of the best holidays we have had as a family. There is just so much to do. This kids never once said they were bored and for our kids this is a big plus point. The caravan was really modern and quite big too, not at all what i was expecting for the price. A really good deal all in all.

September 2010

The site was really quiet when we went probably as we chose to go during term time. A good choice for us cos we like peace and quiet. Lovely site. bet the outdoor pool is great in summer. Was too cold for us at end of September but the indoor pool made up for it. The area is really nice as well. A few things closed as out of season but we really enjoyed walks along the beach and shopping in Newquay.

Would highly recommend the Redwood caravans if you can stretch to them. they seem brand new.
