Trelissick
About
Trelissick is a picturesque estate perched on its own peninsula with panoramic views across the Fal Estuary. The grounds offer a lush woodland garden brimming with exotic plants, herbaceous borders, and an orchard, all intertwined with walking paths that wind through the dramatic scenery of the River Fal. Inside the Georgian‑era house, visitors can explore period rooms and enjoy a tearoom with south‑facing views of the gardens. The estate is welcoming to families, dog owners, and history lovers alike, with a variety of activities such as a Crofters café, a second‑hand bookshop, a gift shop, and the Cornwall Crafts Association gallery. National Trust members enjoy free entry, while non‑members can purchase tickets in several tiers, including ad‑ult, child, family, group and parking options.
