About Lost Gardens of Heligan

Famous restored gardens of 200 acres. Heligan was the seat of the Tremayne family for more than 400 years and its gardens were at their peak prior to WWI. But at the outbreak of war, the gardens slowly started to disappear under the brambles and undergrowth. Now restored and once more glorious (and very unusual). The history, the story and the gardens are fascinating and wondrous.
