Trevina House

The gardens at Trevina are both old and new. From a Victorian cottage garden with original cobbled paths to rewilded woodland. A trout pond occupies the site of a medieval fish pond and the site of a Cornish Round. There is a traditional kitchen garden and organic orchard. The gardens have colour and interest year-round, from the first snowdrops, bluebells, apple blossom and ripe apples in October.

About Trevina House

The gardens of Trevina are both old and new. Around the house are cobbled paths mostly laid out before the WW11 or even earlier. In large part a cottage garden with an alpine patio and shade garden. Across the lane, developed over the last thirty years, half is laid to managed woodland providing a large degree of self sufficiency and re-wilding before it was fashionable. There are 90 apple trees in an organic orchard and a hedge enclosed ‘traditional’ kitchen garden.
Winding walks through meadows and woods lead to the ‘trout’ pond on the site of a medieval fish pond. The site of a ‘Cornish Round’ has been planted a nut ‘spinney’ with a contemplative central clearing. Stout walking shoes are recommended as paths can be uneven and muddy. Teas and bladder break available.
