Arrival and parking
Access to Trelissick is via the Parkland driveway instead of our usual entrance, please follow the signs. If travelling across the ferry please drive past the usual entrance for 600mtrs and turn left onto Parkland drive just after the lodge. Please keep speed below 10mph and be aware of foot traffic in the parkland.
Once you reach the car park a member of team will greet you. Please have your ticket ready and state the name used to book. They will then direct you to available spaces for you to park in.
In order to maintain social distancing, please arrive within your timeslot. Sadly, if you're more than 10 minutes late, we won’t be able to guarantee you entry. Your entry will be at the discretion of the property staff and will be based on visitor numbers and the ability to maintain social distancing.
Campervans that are used for transport are welcome but are not permitted to stay overnight. At this time we’re unable to welcome caravans and coaches.
The car park is locked at 5.15pm so please leave the property by then. Until this time you are free to enjoy Trelissick for as long as you like.
