Trelissick Garden
Feock, near Truro, Cornwall TR3 6QL
This modern garden was created within shelter belts planted 200 years ago and now the house, overlooking the Fal estuary, has been opened to visitors by the National Trust. It is constantly evolving, with new planting and fresh ideas. Trelissick has seen trees grow to maturity, the tide ebbing and flowing, but has become a dynamic, forward-looking estate. The iconic Water Tower was built for irrigation and fire-control; now the lavatories are flushed with rainwater stored underground in modern reservoirs. Heat is extracted from kitchen appliances and the Sun to provide hot water and heating. The River Fal is now more than just a beautiful setting for Trelissick; many visitors arrive by boat each summer.
Making the most of your day
