Description: Trelissick Gardens features not only exotic shrubs, trees, and flowers, but also a remarkable collection of stone and wooden artifacts dotted around the walkways, some ancient, others more recent.
Those you will see as you stroll around the gardens are as detailed.
The Millennium Obelisk, situated directly to the front of the house, surrounded by flowers and simply inscribed with "2000" as a memorial to the passing of the 20th century
The stone tablet situated just inside the east gateway to the house, erected to commemorate the donation of the estate to the National Trust in 1955 by the Copeland family
The small statuette of Pan, playing his pipes serenely within the shelter of the fern hollow
The ancient Cornish Cross, situated to the southeast corner of the gardens, overlooking the river Fal. This was relocated here many years ago, and the weathering of its stone is indicative of its great age.
The two modern wooden statues depicting a tribal scene of a warrior hailing what looks like a type of totem pole
The sundial in the herb garden dating to the 18th century
The gardens are also replete with lovely arbours, walkways now covered with climbing plants forming cool tunnels, summer houses where you may tarry awhile on a warm day, and bench seats to just sit and admire the views or take in the delectable scents of 100 different blooms.
