Falmouth Parks, Gardens and Falmouth Arboretums
(Falmouth, Cornwall, England, UK)



Falmouth enjoys a particularly enchanting spot, next to the bay. Those staying here looking for a change of scenery and something quite different to the sandy stretches of beach should consider a visit to one of Falmouth's unexpected subtropical gardens.

There are two main gardens in the Falmouth area, both of which are steeped in history and open to members of the public. The Trebah Gardens have year-round interest and something for each season, while the Glendurgan Gardens are perhaps best known for their superb laurel maze, which was planted in 1833 and is a firm favourite with children of all ages. Here is some extra information about Falmouth's main gardens.
