Bosvigo Gardend is a Georgian house surrounded by fine gardens featuring walled garden, borders, topiary and original Victorian conservatory. Also includes small woodland area and attached nursery - it’s tiny though so might not take you long to wonder around, but nice for getting out the house and not being any more than 2 minutes from the house!!
Although there has been a house at Bosvigo since the 13th century, the garden has only been developed since the latter part of the 20th century. Alterations to the present 18th century house have made it possible to construct an attractive walled garden and to utilise the splendid conservatory which now houses many interesting tender species of roses and climbers and offers seats for those wishing to sit and savour the perfumes of the plants.
Different parts of the gardens display particular colour effects. The walled garden is predominantly pink and blue pastels, with old fashioned climbing roses and clematis around the walls. On the other hand, the four beds of the Vean Garden are mainly gold and white with a sprinkling of blue. The beech trees in the slope of woodland, shelter a variety of bulbs and herbaceous plants, changing with the various seasons. Buried deep in the woods is the Hot Garden, alive with fiery reds, yellows and oranges, particularly bright in late summer.
Unlike many other Cornish gardens, Bosvigo is not close to the sea but not far from Truro city centre, surrounded by suburbia. It is open from March to September each year. There is a small nursery shop, selling some of the lovely plants to be found in the garden, and a car park for visitors.

Tranquil garden near Truro with wonderful views of the River Fal. Set on many levels, containing a superb collection of tender and exotic plants
There has been a house at Trelissick since the 13th century, but the property existing today was built in the middle of the 18th century and designed by Humphry Davy's grandfather. It was extended further early in the 19th century. The estate is sited in Playing Place, close to where the King Harry Ferry crosses the River Fal. There are lovely views across the river and towards the estuary from various parts of the estate.
Trelissick house
In the early days, the house overlooked a lawn dotted with oak and beech trees. There was an orchard and a walled kitchen garden. However, most of the surrounding woodlands were planted in the early 19th century, at the time the house was extended and the many carriageways constructed.
Following a short period of neglect, the estate was purchased by the Gilbert family, who introduced many exotic plants. The attractive summer house was built around this time. The large orchards and many varieties of fruit trees earned the estate a reputation as the premier fruit growing establishment in Cornwall.
Trelissick - Water Tower
When the estate changed hands yet again at the beginning of the 20th century, the gardens were developed further and a solarium was built at one end of the house. The development was continued by the Copelands, who planted many rare shrubs, camellias and rhododendrons. Ronald Copeland was a director of Spode and many of the flowers, with which pieces of the Spode china are decorated, are believed to have grown in the gardens at Trelissick.
There are numerous pleasant rambles in the gardens and both the summer house and the water tower, with its weather-vane in the shape of a squirrel, are worth seeing

This is the 'Enchanted Trail' in Cornwall that has been proving a hit with families.
Numerous fairy doors can be found dotted along the path through Coosebean Woods, just outside Truro.
It runs from Coosebean to Malabar and is very popular with residents from the surrounding areas.
The fairy doors, which house all sorts of wonders, were made by local resident John Rowe.
Bird boxes have recently been installed along the trail, meadows cleared and an old track opened up as an alternative entrance.
The enchanted trail is a beautiful hidden treasure on the edge of our great little city, popular with families and dog walkers alike.
This woodland area takes you along the River Kenwyn, close to Victoria Gardens.

There is an iron over bridge leading from the road above the house over to the train station, no more than a 5 minute walk. There is a bus stop at the end of the road but it is a lovely walk into Truro city centre along The Leats and past Victoria Gardens.
