These are the most wonderful well laid out gardens, with plenty of spots to sit and ponder, you will return home inspired to make a few additions to your own garden I'm sure. Included in the very reasonable £7 entry cost is a cup of tea or coffee and as many return visits as you would like this year... what's not to like about that! Also available are lots of plants for sale and some pretty tasty homemade cake!

For the avid artist this is worth battling the crowds in St Ives, my top tip is to go by train from Par (there is a change at St Erth) straight to the edge of St Ives, parking in St Ives is not for the feint of heart!
