Glendurgan Gardens another National Trust Garden. Superb subtropical garden, with special interest for families. It is a valley garden with views over the Helford River and coastline.  Contains a great laurel maze and 'Giant's Stride' maypole.  Leads down to a tranquil sandy beach and rock pools at Durgan.

Trebah Gardens  26 acres of plants from all over the world, particularly famous for its hydrangeas.  Gardens run down to a beach on the Helford river.

Carwinion Gardens - The garden is open all year round and there is always something to impress visitors or catch the eye. Visitors can wander among towering dicksonia antarctica, cryptomaria japonica, chusan palms and impressive gunnera as well as colourful rhododendrons and camelias.
In early spring the garden, charming in its unmanicured nature, erupts with carpets of primroses. At Christmas rhododendrons start flowering and there are plenty of early camellias followed by a large patch of wild blue anemones, snowdrops and hellebores.
