Visting Trebah

I was watching an old GW I had recorded last week & they had Trebah on there. It looked lovely & the bamboo was incredible.
Glad you enjoyed your visit.

Thats something I like to do as well, visiting grand houses and gardens, We used to belong to the NT and did visit lots of places, now we have changed to the English Heritage as they have more in our area, just as enjoyable though..

Lucky you to live near so many lovely places

I think I've got the right place-- on the Helford river-- and didn't American soldiers leave from there on D Day?, lovely gardens with interesting history

Yes thats the place Pamg, gardens lead down to private beach, how lucky some people were/are to be able to create beautiful gardens in such lovely spots, and we are lucky to be able to wander amongst them now! English Heritage have Pendennis castle here in Flamouth and think that may be another membership in the future. Lovely way to spend a day losing yourself around these places.

I once went to a big function at Pendennis, it was a marquee on the Peninsula there(the castle was used for cocktails) imagine men in dj,s and ladies in pretty dresses, all was well until the wind began to blow and the rain came down......luckily the marquee didn,t!!! although we all got pretty wet crossing thenarrow drawbridge to get to the coaches......:0). Marvellous setting though!

sounds lovely Pamg, shame the typical Cornish weather had to spoil it! Keep meaning to go to one of their evening spooky tours but have'nt managed it yet..something else on my long to do list!!

I think it's always windy at Pendennis! Younger son lives just round the corner, next to the Maritime Museum in Falmouth. You're in one of the best counties for NT membership Maezy . . . we keep our membership going just for visiting the wonderful gardens in Cornwall, and free parking at Kynance Cove!

Yes Sheilabub think we have got a good selection of NT places here and aim to do them all by end of year! We also have a dog and like to walk so the free parking at the NT car parks also mean we don't have to walk so far back to the car and and if you like Kynance have you been to Godrevy, stunning coastline, good cafe and seal spotting (young ones in cove above carpark in breeding season so if you have'nt next time you vist son add it to your itinery.

Oooh, thanks Maezy . . . no, I don't know Godrevy, but won't be surprised if our son does - thanks for telling me - "stunning coastline and good cafe" does it for me!
