The Lost Gardens of Heligan
Heligan is one of the most mysterious estates in England. Lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of WW1, this Sleeping Beauty was re-awakened in 1990 to become Europe’s largest garden restoration project. Today Heligan’s 200 acres are a paradise for the explorer, wildlife, plant lover and garden romantic. The Productive and Pleasure Gardens, Home Farm and the Steward’s House are all set on a gentle downhill slope, making these areas manoeuvrable for wheelchair users. The wider estate should be approached with caution as you may encounter steeper gradients and steps throughout. Disabled visitors presenting appropriate documentation are eligible for one complimentary essential companion ticket. A list of valid documentation is available on their website. Manual wheelchairs are available to borrow, free of charge, from our Visitor Reception on a first-come, first-served basis. We also have two mobility scooters available in two time slots: from 10am to 1pm and from 1.30pm to 4.30pm – this includes a short induction although we do insist that visitors have previous experience of using a mobility scooter. Pre-booking is advisable by phoning us on 01726 845100, although bookings are taken a maximum of four weeks in advance. To get the best experience from your visit, please ask for an Accessible Heligan map and access advice from our Reception team before going off to explore the gardens.
