A visit to Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.
Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens are well worth a visit whilst staying at Keigwin House. If you like to walk then it is just over an hours walk. Heading on the coast path towards Marazion as far as the Longrock carpark. Then cross the railway line and the road heading up Poniou Lane past Trelawny Garage and the builders merchants to Cuxhaven Way. Poniou Lane goes onto the footbridge which crosses the A30. Stay on Poniou Lane as it winds through a little hamlet, you will get to a T junction, here take a right onto Long Lane you will pass the Old Mushroom Farm on your right a little further along you will see the sign post pointing left for Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.
You might well be ready for a coffee and cake before exploring the garden.
Tremenheere Kitchen restuarant is accessible without going into the garden itself.

If you aren’t up to walking all the way out to the gardens you can catch the number 16 or 16A bus and this goes directly past the entrance to Tremenheere Gardens on its way to St Ives.
If you are driving there is plenty of free car parking at the entrance to the gardens.

There are some great sculptures in this garden but don’t forget to look out for the beautiful sculptures and shapes that mother nature provides for us everyday and every where. This beautiful tree fern frond unfurling for example.

Wandering on up the woodland walk the new granite pathway takes me back to my childhood encouraging me to hopscotch up it.

As we go further up into the garden we find the James Turrell’s Skyspace. An oasis of calm, a peaceful spot for meditation and reflection. When there are blue skies above its absolutely stunning.

Whether you are an avid gardener or not, I’m sure everyone will find something to enjoy at Tremenheere. Unfortunately on this visit the Camera Obscura was broken, this is one of my favourite parts of the garden. Going into a small darkened room with a circular table in the centre you turn a handle and the whole of the garden is laid out before you on the table- ingenious.

A time of 90 minutes is suggested to see all of the sculpture exhibits but it would be easy to while away many more hours. Sitting in a quite corner with a reading book or a sketch book. Or wandering around with your camera snapping the sculptures, plants and fantasic vistas.
