From the 21st century to the 18th century - Georgian Pencarrow has 50 acres of award-winning woodland gardens, a play area and craft centre, as well as superb paintings and furniture. Nearby Victorian Lanhydrock has 49 rooms to view, and 450 acres of parkland and formal gardens. The camomile lawn of the Old Mill Herbary, the passion flowers of Wetherham and the water-lilies of Long Cross Victorian Gardens are just some of the growing pleasures which await you. Many gardens are open all year round, others open their gates during the Festival of Spring Gardens in April & May. North Cornwall's wild flowers put even skilled Victorian plantsmen to shame, with cliff-top carpets of squill, sea-campion and thrift, hedgerows of wild gladioli and meadow-sweet, and woodland glades of ramsons and anemones. You'll find primroses showing their faces before Christmas, and fields of daffodils in January. They say down here that when the gorse is out of bloom the kissing has to stop - and in North Cornwall's mild climate the coconut-scented gorse flowers all year round!
