Trebah Garden

natural

A dramatic ravine garden above the Helford River, Trebah descends through one hundred feet of sub-tropical planting to a private beach on the river. Giant rhododendrons, ancient tree ferns and enormous gunnera create a primeval canopy, while the beach — from which American troops embarked for Utah Beach in 1944 — has a poignant footnote in the story of D-Day.
