About Trebartha Estate Garden and Country Garden at Lemarne

Trebartha Gardens have a fine landscape, including views of the hillside running from Hawks Tor, on the eastern edge of Bodmin Moor, to the valley of the the river Lynher. Water, trees, and rocks are part of its magic. Extra attractions in spring include rhododendrons and bluebells.

The gardens are well spread out, covering about 18 ha (45 acres). Different areas have their own characters. Allow at least 90 minutes to see all of them, including the cascades, terraces and the garden at Lemarne. This walk includes some steep, rough paths which can be slippery when wet.

It is also possible to have a good walk round more level areas of the gardens, taking in the old swan pool, American garden, fish ponds and walled gardens.

Trebartha has a long history. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086). Colonel Francis Rodd, who inherited Trebartha in 1736, created the three fish ponds, damming the valley where tin and a small quantity of gold had been mined. Francis Hearle Rodd planted the American garden in about 1820. There are still many trees which were planted by the Rodd family in the nineteenth century, including some county champions. The swan pool was constructed around 1900. Trebartha was acquired by the Latham family in 1941. Trebartha Hall was requisitioned during World War 2; it was left so damaged that it was pulled down. The estate and gardens are managed as a family trust, with the long term future in mind. More information on the history of Trebartha is on http://www.northhillhistory.co.uk/trebarthahall.htm.
