Fab gardens on a large 22 acre site overlooking Marazion and the bay to St Michael's Mount. Great range of sculptures and plants, lovely place to wile away a couple of hours. The cafe by the entrance also does really good food too

This place is great, well worth a visit. There are so many sculptures, well laid out too… you could easily spend an entire day here. The sky room is epiiiiic 🤩 a very tranquil place. My daughter had a school trip here for her A-Level Art, she got some good inspiration from the sculptures. They also have some delicious cakes 🎂 🍰 🧁

My second visit and I wasn't disappointed but delighted that it still excited me as much as the first time. Was a warm day and we took the the dogs so the shade and stream kept us cool. The wonderful ferns and pools with sculptures hidden but revealed around the next corner. Sculptures to allow to to process and make your own opinions, sculptures with hidden meanings, sculptures that display a feeling and allow you to explore and understand what the artist was conveying. To top it off a wonderful cafe to talk about your experience and refuel . ❤️
