Tranquil varied garden in fabulous position, with a superb collection of tender and exotic plants
This modern garden was created within shelter belts planted 200 years ago.
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.
