Trelissick Garden
GardensOn its own peninsula with ever-changing views of the estuary of the River Fal, Trelissick has one of the most amazing natural settings in the country.
Trelissick really has something for everyone - runners and dog walkers can follow the riverside woodland paths, children can splash about on the beach or join in with the weekend woodland activities and families can enjoy the beautiful gardens and views down the river and out to sea. Trelissick House has recently been acquired by the National Trust and several rooms are now open including the dining room and orangery with their stunning views sweeping out over the estate and down to the river.
