Pink blossom in The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall
The Lost Gardens of Heligan on the south coast of Cornwall has become a world famous tourist destination. Heligan seat of the Tremayne family for more than 400 years is a mysterious estate in England. At the end of the nineteenth century its thousand acres were at their zenith but only a few years later bramble and ivy covered a jungle of exotic and rare plants trees and bushes. After decades of neglect the devastating hurricane of 1990 should have consigned the Lost Gardens of Heligan to a footnote in history but instead it revealed a tiny room buried under fallen masonry in the corner of one of the walled gardens which unlocked a large area of lost gardens. The gardens have now been brought back to their glorious best
