Carwinion
location: Mawnan Smith, TR11 5JA
Twelve-acres of wild Victorian gardens nestled in the Helford Valley, Carwinion is home to one of the most spectacular national collections of bamboo in the country. Carwinion is a wild and untamed spring garden prolific with wild flowers, primroses and blue bells and let the colourful camellias, hydrangeas, ferns and wild flowers flood your senses of sight and smell. In the summer explore the banks of the ponds, streams and enormous groves of gunnera. Bring your four-legged companions to explore this dog friendly plot, and take a stroll up the sides of the valley that are brimming with large rhododendrons, palms and a wildly exotic atmosphere.
