Trebah is a magical 26-acre ravine garden descending to a private, secluded beach on the historic Helford River. A stream cascades over waterfalls, through ponds full of giant Koi carp and exotic water plants, through two acres of blue and white hydrangeas, before spilling out over the beach. Glades of enormous tree ferns, bamboos and palms mingle with giant gunnera and a rolling canopy of 100-year old rhododendrons, magnolias and a multitude of trees and shrubs, with ever changing colour and scent throughout the year.

This is a garden that children adore. They marvel at the gunnera passage, a tunnel of giant rhubarb 16 feet high, and race around the bamboozle. Trebah is full of play areas and trails for children of all ages, and with swimming and picnics on the beach, it makes the perfect setting for a family day out.

The award-winning Planters Cafe serves mouth-watering homemade dishes. With a wide selection of gifts and plants in the Gallery and Garden Shops, and dogs welcome in the garden, Trebah really does have something for everyone.
