About the garden
On Monday 16 February 1990, The Lost Gardens of Heligan were rediscovered, emerging from the brambles of time. Today, Heligan remains one of the most beloved and romantic collections of gardens in the UK, as well as one of the largest restoration projects in Europe.
Spanning more than 200 acres, Heligan is a garden for all seasons. The Victorian productive gardens and pleasure grounds beckon along winding paths laid over two centuries ago. The Jungle takes visitors on a sub-tropical adventure through bamboo tunnels and under majestic tree ferns, giant rhubarb and bananas, while the estate reveals a lost world of traditional breeds, wildlife and ancient woodlands.
