Country walks Coast of Cornwall leaflet 16 (Helford River)
About this property
Described by the Fox family, who gave Glendurgan to the Trust, as 'a little peace [sic] of heaven on earth', the garden is a place of great beauty and tranquillity. Three valleys converge and drop towards the sparkling waters of the Helford River and the hamlet and beach at Durgan. The garden has many fine trees, rare and exotic plants from the four corners of the globe, outstanding spring displays of magnolias and camellias, plus carpets of wild flowers. Glendurgan has always been a magical place for children, with the baffling laurel maze, the Giant's Stride (rope swing), the beach and the recreated school house. It is an informal garden that all ages can enjoy. The house is privately occupied.
