National Trust Trelissick

Trelissick is set on its own peninsula, with panoramic views over the Fal estuary. You can explore the meandering paths through the garden, leading to exotic plants and herbaceous borders bursting with colour. The house is open seasonally for you to learn the history of the families that once called this place home and to relax in the south facing rooms with refreshments from the Kitchen Cafe to take in the ever changing views of the Carrick Roads.

For those bringing four-legged friends, Trelissick offers woodland walks across open parkland with views down the estuary to the town of Falmouth. Please be aware that only assistance dogs are allowed in the garden.

Crofters café offers a delicious range of light refreshments, hot lunches, afternoon cream teas and packed lunches for children, all using seasonal and local produce. There’s a National Trust shop and plant sales, second-hand bookshop and six of the best National Trust holiday cottages located around the Trelissick estate. Trelissick also has its own art gallery run by Cornwall Crafts Association and showcases a wide range of work from local Cornish artists.
