What a Picture!
For some, Cornwall could be described as the Caribbean county, with miles of sandy beaches, Crystal Clear waters and a mild climate, for others it is dramatic, with high, impressive rugged cliffs but it could also be considered the garden of Eden with magnificent gardens which are home to plants and trees that are unable to grow anywhere else in the UK but thrive in Cornwall due to its temperate climate.
These are all magnificent qualities but it is also ideal for all levels of photography, with outstanding light and so much to take pictures of, no matter what time of year, as a keen amateur or professional photographer you will find a wealth to keep you busy and entertained.

There are many heroic stories from those that have gone above and beyond to help others but also unfortunately news of families losing loved ones or those suffering from depression or mental health issues due to the lack of care, support and interaction.

Gardens, Jewels in the Crown of Cornwall
Gardens, Jewels in the Crown of Cornwall
Cornwall is well known for its rugged coastline and golden beaches, but it also has some of the finest gardens in the country and arguably the world. With its temperate climate many varieties of plants, shrubs and trees thrive when elsewhere they just wouldn’t survive.
Here at Cornish Holiday we are passionate about Cornwall and all things Cornish and wanted to let you know about some of the fantastic gardens which are well worth visiting while you are in this fantastic county. Many have coffee shops and things to do for the children so they can be a real family adventure.
A favourite of ours is Glendurgan which is managed by the National Trust. Not only does this have a wonderful maze to get lost in but at the bottom of the garden you arrive at Durgan on the Helford River where you can get an ice cream and dibble your toes, if you so wish.
