About

Tucked into the head of St Austell Bay lies Cornwall's Temperate Rainforest at Tregrehan. Protected by the hills behind, massive trees and parkland, sits a sheltered botanical oasis; one of Cornwall's Great Gardens. 

This family run estate welcomes everyone to share and enjoy its non commercial atmospheric setting. It is a delight on regular Spring open days or at any other time by prior arrangement. Please use the contact page for any queries or further information that isn't apparent on the website.    

Elderly and Disabled Visitors

There is plenty of parking within a short walk of the garden entrance. The loos situated next to the car park are equipped with fold down bars and access is on level ground. The Walled Garden, Glasshouse Range and top half of the garden is all accessible to wheelchairs via graded pathways. Please ask if in doubt where the most user friendly routes are in the garden. 

Dogs

Dogs are permitted to exercise in the parkland on a lead. When sheep are present please keep dogs well clear especially when lambing. Unfortunately dogs aren't allowed in the main garden but there are plenty of shaded areas in the car park  to leave pets while visiting.     

Health and Safety

Please keep children under observation at all times as due to the nature of a mainly woodland garden there are areas of water, uneven banks and some steep drops. All paths are regularly inspected and mown where appropriate. But stout footwear is still advisable especially if the weather has been unsettled. Very occasionally the garden will have to close due to extreme weather such as high winds. The garden was laid out well before modern regulations were invented; therefore we cannot eliminate all health and safety risks. Common sense with regard to handling plants and avoiding physical hazards is a joint responsibility between visitors and ourselves.
