Special Spots in Cornwall for a Magical Weekend Retreat
The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a perfect example of Magical Cornwall

Trebah Garden

In the small parish area of Mawnan Smith, you’ll find Trebah Garden, a secret valley that is sure to delight you if you are willing to seek it out. Within the valley, you’ll find sub-tropical plants and trees and at the bottom of the valley is the Helford River. If you’re lucky enough to visit when the weather is good, you can sit out on the small beach by the river and sunbathe, or if you have kids with you, you could visit the adventure playground. The Garden is open all year round.

Land’s End

If you want the best Land’s End experience you could possibly have, you should avoid what the guidebook tells you to do and instead drive to Sennen beach, park there, and then walk the gentle half hour stroll along the cliffs, taking in the gorgeous views as you go. Alternatively, drop down to the glorious beach, nip to the surf shop and hit the waves together! After your sightseeing, sit back, enjoy a good book or the pleasure of your company, and have an ice cream – you’ve earned it.

Lost Gardens of Heligan

Finally, for something perhaps even more magical, visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan. This was the first project by Eden Project designer Tim Smit, and covering over 200 acres, you’ll be sure to have a once in a lifetime experience here. With restored Edwardian fruit trees, veg gardens, spooky caves and secret ancient pools, you’ll understand what makes this place so special.

So if you’re looking for reasons to book a short retreat in Cornwall, hopefully these three delightful Cornish attractions are enough to get you excited. Book your stay today and visit these magical Cornish wonders.
