About Towan House
Towan House is a coastal garden with some unusual plants and views to St. Mawes,
St. Anthony Head lighthouse and beyond with easy access to the SW coast path overlooking Falmouth Bay. It is approximately ¼ acre and divided into two gardens, one exposed to the north and east winds, the other sheltered allowing tropical plants to flourish such as ‘Hedychium’ and cannas. There is a greenhouse and raised vegetable beds.
A pond nestles in a sunny corner. Camellias, rhododendrons, pittosporums and grasses add structure and shelter giving unusual plants such as Cassia Corymbosa, Drimy lanceolata ‘Red Spice’, Marsdenia oreophila and Corokia a chance to thrive.
Succulents can be found on the open terrace and a balcony provides views out to sea where sailing boats can be seen enjoying fine weather.
