The Eden Project
location: St Austell, PL24 2SG
Eleven years ago this place was a barren, exhausted china clay pit. Now its massive Biomes (one of which is the biggest greenhouse in the world) and millions of plants bear witness to what can be achieved by a can-do attitude and the tenacity of the human spirit.
Eden is as potent a symbol of hope for the future as you could find anywhere on earth. That’s the big stuff…simple pleasures await you here too: imaginative children’s play areas, impromptu storytelling, workshops for all ages, a wide choice of delicious food, a shop full of amazing stuff from all over the world – and just sniffing the flowers of course!
