We really enjoyed this garden. It has an incredible variety of plants, trees and flowers. It's really a cross between a garden and an arboretum, all set in a deep valley. The paths lead all through the different sections and finish with at a small beach with a lovely view of the Helford river. The day we were there, despite... More

A light and airy entrance area leads you into a charming and well stocked garden which really needs to be viewed on several levels to be full apprieciated. You enter the garden at the top and are level with some of the tree tops and then you can chose which path to take, either around the top giving you great... More

A lovely garden with the added historical interest of the beach where US troops assembled during WW2. The garden is on several levels, well organized and interesting. There's a very pleasant gift shop and (I think) a cafe.

Spectacular! Beautiful gardens on the side of a hill with plants from all over the world. As you proceed downwards the garden finally ends at the beach. One of the best Gardens I have seen. Even the road leading to the Gardens is exceptionally beautiful

I wish I could have rated Trebah as excellent as the wonderful gardens with the beautiful trees and plants certainly deserve it and definitely merit a visit. However, there are definitely improvements to be made in certain areas. The signage on the roads was almost non existent and it would have been very helpful to have had one on the... More

One of the best things about this garden is they welcome dogs on leads - (unlike the National Trust!!) Also your ticket is valid for re entry for up to 5 days after your visit. There are some spectacular views, and on a sunny day a beach to sit and enjoy. My fave spot was the watergarden with steps down... More

Early June visit- and were rewarded with full bloom especially at the water gardens. This was a wonderful outing for us, it was a bit of a drive and in places not clearly signposted but well worth it. This is an outing that requires walking up and down hills with steps and slopes. There are walks down to a pebble... More

This is a garden for all seasons. Because of the late Spring, the bluebells were still very much in evidence and the azaleas and rhododendrons very colourful. The gardens have a very well stocked restaurant and two very good shops, one with good quality gifts and one with garden artefacts plus a good plant shop.
