Tremenheere

A magical place to visit. I don’t want to give it away with too many photos, because it’s one of those places that you need to see and feel for the first time. It’s a garden, rescued and rebuilt from wilderness. It’s been filled with sculptures and art. The architecture of old trees hides tropical places – some wet and dripping, some arid. Paths climb steeply up the slopes and follow the contours of the hill, with unexpected views stretching across Mount’s Bay. I don’t know which I loved more – the plants or the art. It was the most amazing day of my October visit, and I will return again to see it in different seasons and different lights. A great way to get there is walking up the footpath from Long Rock (get off the bus at the fabulous Mexico Inn) and a great way to end the visit is with a meal at the Tremenheere Kitchen and browsing the Tremenheere Nursery. Surreal succulents!
