Stroll down through the peaceful, exotic and playful valley to a sheltered beach at the bottom.
Glendurgan is closed for 2019 and will open again on Saturday 15 February 2020. Over the winter, there are plenty of walks to enjoy with stunning views across the Helford river and surrounding countryside. Nearby Trelissick Garden also remains open all year round.
There are three valleys of Glendurgan to lose yourself in - full of fun, informality, natural beauty and amazing plants.
Big leaves and exotic flowers thrive in the jungle-like lower valley and sun-loving specimens enjoy the upper banks. In spring thousands of wildflowers carpet the sloping sides of this steep valley.
Wandering through the garden leads down to the unspoilt hamlet of Durgan on the Helford River: a place to watch birds and boats, skim stones and build sand-castles.
Walking back up from Durgan you can find a boat-seat, a gigantic tulip-tree and ponds teeming with wildlife. You can also learn about the Fox family who created this 'small peace of heaven on earth.'
The maze has been foxing people for over 180 years. Who will be first to reach the middle of our living puzzle?

Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
