About

Tehidy Country Park is a 250‑acre natural haven located in Illogan, Cornwall, offering visitors a blend of historic charm and verdant woodland. The park encompasses the stately Tehidy House, a neoclassical mansion that dates back to the early 19th century and reflects the region’s tin‑mining legacy. Over the years the house served multiple roles, from a manor to a tuberculosis sanatorium, before its conversion into luxury residences. Encounter a rich tapestry of flora and fauna across distinct woodland layers, with oak, beech, and native ferns attracting swans, otters, and a variety of bird species. The park’s permanent orienteering course, barbecue hire, and educational facilities provide diverse activities for all ages. Whether you’re a nature lover, history enthusiast, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, Tehidy Country Park invites travelers to wander through ancient earthworks, enjoy scenic creek walks, and immerse themselves in the tranquil Cornish landscape.
