Penzance Parks, Gardens and Penzance Arboretums
(Penzance, Cornwall, England, UK)



Several exceptional gardens and parks can be found around Penzance, offering a particularly lush, green and colourful alternative to the sandy beaches and coastline. Amongst the best offerings in the Penzance area, the Trewidden Garden was first landscaped more than 100 years ago and is full of seasonal interest, while the centrally local Penlee Memorial Gardens and Morrab Gardens are both especially close to the seafront.

Further popular Penzance gardens include those at Trengwainton. Close to Land's End and containing many usual plant specimens and collections, the Trengwainton Gardens incorporate a picturesque stream, which runs the entire length of these beautiful gardens. Here are some further details about the main gardens around the Penzance area of Cornwall.
