Anvil Cottage

Essentially, this is a plantsman's garden. Winding paths lead through a series of themed rooms with familiar, rare and unusual plants. Steps lead up to a raised viewpoint looking west towards Caradon Hill and Bodmin Moor. Other paths take you on a circular route through a rose garden, hot beds, a tropical area and a secret garden.

About Anvil Cottage

LikeTopsy, this garden just grew and grew. The pandemic has forced us to clear out a lot of overgrown areas, and to try and make it easier to maintain. We have listened to the comments of regular visitors, and hope you will like the changes.
