We visited this garden at the right time of year as we had heard it was a spring garden and it was awash with bluebells and other spring flowers. It was quite simply stunning and no matter which way you looked as you followed the paths there seemed to be another wonderful vista. The pool had tadpoles and a newt... More

Actually not as good as Trebah next door but runs it pretty close. While Trebah presents as studied informality, Glendurgan looks starchily formal. I think I know why; it is an NT property and will have a much higher visitor rate than Trebah (where NT members will have to pay while Glendurgan is free on their card - maybe?). Anyhow,... More

Many of Cornwall's gardens are at their best in spring & Glendurgan is one of these.This beautiful gardens boasts some marvelous magnolias & camelias, this year flowering together with beds of primroses & bluebells. The garden is set in a steep valley so can be a little difficult for anyone with limited mobility but most paths are wheelchair friendly. The... More

This is a really lovely garden which is well worth a visit, if only for the maze. The magnolias and bluebells were still in flower when we visited so it was very pretty. The walk down to the sea was worth it as there is a little village which is very picturesque.

An interesting garden extending down to the sea, with very good tree ferns and rhododendrons. At the sea end is a small hamlet of cottages and the like

Delightful gardens formally owned by the Fox family (shipping magnates in Falmouth). No maps available (the Fox's were quakers, didn't allow such things!). but the garden layout allows a moderate descent to the Durgan village/beach on the Helford river. Lovely spot - take a picnic and watch life pass by! Walking back is a little steep on the West approach,... More

Glendurgan Gardens yesterday the 1st May 2013, were probably a month late flowering this year but the warm sun was encouraging the bluebells which should be in full bloom for the coming bank holiday weekend. Do take the advice on entry to go down the steep path to the right, and return from the beach up the shallower path on... More

We arrived late in the day and was immediately greeted by a very friendly volunteer called Chris. After much banter with Chris and the other ladies at reception, we had coffee and cake in front of the wood burning stove in the café which was both comfortable and good value for money. We then spent about an hour walking down... More

Although being April the flowers were short in number, the setting is truly spectacular. You follow a path that winds its way through a series of striking views, eventually taking you to the beach below. There's a fun maze and a wide variety of plants and features. It's quite a climb back up but the tea shop was excellent and... More
