A welcoming garden set in an estate with stunning maritime views and lovely woodland walks
To ensure the safety of our visitors, staff, volunteers and local communities, we've reduced the number of people we can welcome at one time. In this article you’ll find everything you need to know about what's open and what to expect from your visit.
Trelissick is set on its own peninsula, with panoramic views over the Fal estuary. You can explore the meandering paths through the garden, leading to exotic plants and herbaceous borders bursting with colour. For those bringing four-legged friends, Trelissick offers woodland walks through dappled sunlight and across open parkland with views down the estuary to the town of Falmouth. The house has a friendly and inviting atmosphere with a rolling programme of exhibitions that reveal stories from its diverse history.
Trelissick has its own renowned art gallery with a wide range of work from local Cornish artists. Crofters café offers a delicious range of light refreshments, hot lunches, afternoon cream teas and packed lunches for children, all using seasonal and local produce. There's a gift shop, second-hand bookshop and six of the best National Trust holiday cottages located around the Trelissick estate.

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:
