Lost Gardens of Heligan
naturalNeglected for seventy years while their gardeners fought in the First World War, the Heligan gardens were rediscovered and painstakingly restored in the 1990s by Tim Smit — who went on to build the Eden Project nearby. The productive gardens, subtropical ravine and the famous Mud Maid sculpture have captured the imagination of visitors worldwide, but the atmosphere of gentle melancholy is the gardens' greatest achievement.
