      Indeed, I'm sure they're breaking the trade descriptions act. They're not lost at all :old: :biggrin:

          I was there last week. We had a week in Cornwall. It's fab. We thought they really were the lost gardens thanks to an erratic sat nav[emoji15]

          Had a day in Eden too. Well worth a visit

              Satnav doesn't work in Cornwall. It's the pixies see. They jam all the signals.

                      But to Heligan and back - we're staying only a mile or two from the gardens so simple enough to find (also, a superb farm shop for all those essential supplies. Like gin.

                      I have to say the gardens didn't let me down, they're great. Loads to see and so many aspects of gardening are covered it's dazzling. Lots for the kids to do too. We found that if you book both Eden and Heligan in advance you get a discount and an annual pass for Eden (they take your picture so you can't pass it around!). Simply a great place.
