The jungle

The Lost Gardens of Heligan is one of the most famous gardens in England. It is located eight kilometers south of St Austell near Mevagissey in Cornwall. Originally the garden was part of the 400 acre property of the Tremayne family. The Cornish name Heligan means Weidenbaum. A wonderful place for hiking and walking. A special highlight is the rope bridge in the "jungle".

Heligan Cafe. Good food. Good for vegans and vegetarians while also (so I'm told) having good meat from neighbouring Lobbs farm. Pizza, Jacket potatoes, quiche, frittata and salad are our favourites.

From wiki: The Lost Gardens of Heligan (Cornish: Lowarth Helygen, meaning "willow tree garden"), near Mevagissey in Cornwall, are one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK. The gardens are typical of the 19th century Gardenesque style with areas of different character and in different design styles.
