Today spent at Trebah Garden at Mawnan Smith. Gardens were created in 1838 over 25 acres. Gardens now owned and managed by the Trebah Garden Trust. Has a very rich history having over the years had changes in ownership. The gardens reach the beach which overlooks the Helford River. During the war the beach was used as an embarkation point for the 29th U.S Infantry Division.
If in Cornwall these gardens are a must go visit - www.trebah-garden.co.uk
After spending a few more bob in the plant shop we left once again pretty tired and hot after so much walking.
Enjoyed another evening meal at the Farmers Arms listening to more stories about their village and its part in the war years. The land where we are staying in the village was apparently an RAF site and the road in is in fact the old runway.
All pictures captured at Trebah.
