Review:
The Lost Gardens of Heligan, known as "Willow Tree Garden" in Cornish, are one of the United Kingdom's most popular botanical garden facilities, showcasing the beautiful 19th-century Gardenesque style of landscaping. The gardens, which are located near Mevagissey in Cornwall, were originally designed in the 18th century by members of the Cornish Tremayne family on the stunning Heligan estate. Following a fall into disrepair after World War II, the gardens were restored to their historic splendor in the 1990s. Today, they can be explored by visitors throughout the year, showcasing an Italian-style garden, a subtropical jungle area, and Europe's only remaining pineapple pit. Delicious home-cooked fare prepared with fresh produce from the gardens is served up at the facility's homestyle kitchen and bakery.
