This post features some photographs from a trip to Trelissick in the Spring of 2019. 

The flowers and shrubs planted around the garden are unique and eclectic, and during the spring they don’t disappoint. 

We got to see rhododendrons, bird of paradise and lots of bluebells.

This year Trelissick did their wonderful illuminations again. Scott and I had previously visited last winter, the photos of which can be found here.

During the winter season they light up all of the garden with different coloured lights. This year they were all fixed colours, rather than changing. 

This is always great and lets you see the garden in a different light (literally).

During the winter of 2017 Trelissick Gardens put on a fantastic lightshow, lighting up the whole garden and the house with different coloured bulbs and decorating the house. 

The front of the house featured these wonderful colour changing lights

These amazing spotlights really highlighted the beauty of the gardens foliage.

Some of the displays throughout the garden would slowly change, highlighting the trees, bushes and shrubs in a wide range of colours.

Trelissick is and will always be one of my favourite places for a walk. In this post we’re going to completely ignore the main gardens, run by the National Trust, and head across the fields to the coast path. 

From the car park, instead of heading past the water tower towards the garden, turn right into the fields neighbouring the main house, past the cattle grid and onto the well worn path down the field. You can meander down this field at your hearts content – just be careful of any roaming cattle. The top of the field gives great views down to the water and to the house on your left.

Trelissick house, like so many others in Cornwall has a lucrative history and has changed hands many times. Originally built around 1750 for Captain John Lawrence and has since been owned by a long list of local mine owners, a High Sheriff, a Merchant banker and the National Trust. The Copeland family still live in part of the house, with the rest opened to visitors of the garden.

Once you reach the beach, check out the little wooden hut off the the right to learn more about some of the wildlife that can be spotted in this area. Trelissick can be a great spot for any of you twitchers, and you may even catch a glimpse of an exotic Cornish bird like the *cough* Common Seagull…

This beach is super popular with humans and canines alike, being a great spot for picnics or ball throwing. 

To continue, take the path through the gate on the left into the wooded area.

Eventually, you’ll reach the King Harry ferry, a crossing over onto the Roseland Peninsula. At this point, there are two options; you can turn left up the road and head back towards Trelissick carpark, or you can continue up the coast path towards Coombe and Kea.
