Located in the stunning countryside of Cornwall, the spellbinding Lost Gardens of Heligan were nearly lost to history after a hurricane in 1990. However, a group of hardworking folk brought the extraordinary gardens back to flourishing life and opened it to the public. This amazing location is split into a variety of sections featuring subtropical jungle plantations, Victorian influenced flower beds and even some foliage which sways slightly more to the wild side. You may even stumble across a man-eating Venus flytrap (disclaimer: potentially just fantastical speculation). Previously voted the nation’s favourite garden and home to some of the UK’s most spectacular wildlife, The Lost Gardens of Heligan are definitely worth a visit this summer.
