Glendurgan

 

 

Glendurgan Garden which lies in a delightful valley where its exotic and tender plants are protected by the sheltered location.
Alfred Fox came to Glendurgan in 1820, built the house, then shortly after began creating the garden.

In 1833 he planted the laurel maze, recently restored by the National Trust to be enjoyed only from a viewpoint.

Subsequent generations of his family continued to develop the garden until 1962 when Mr and Mrs Cuthbert Fox gave Glendurgan Garden to the Trust.
