I just wanted to thank you on my return home last evening for a really wonderful day with you on Thursday. Lisa and David Cresson and Sallie and Walker Sydnor were overwhelmed by the time you spent with us, your generous hospitality and your tremendous sense of humour and interest in them, and overall, they had the most wonderful visit we could have wished for. Your gardens are a dream and the house a delight, and I know that their visit will loom in their memories for a long time. Let us hope I can find many more visitors for you in the future, and I will be in touch.

Welcome to Caerhays Estate, History and Beauty on the Cornish Coast

It is difficult not to be inspired when you visit Caerhays Castle and Gardens.

Inspired by the natural beauty, the architectural surprises, the inescapable sense of history and the range of activities and facilities that the estate offers.

Caerhays has an international reputation for its camellias and rhododendrons and is home to a national magnolia collection.

The castle itself was designed by John Nash around 200 years ago and both the building and its occupants have played significant roles in the history of Cornwall.
You can visit the castle and gardens, walk in the grounds and visit the stunning beaches which make up the estate.

This is a renowned shooting estate and is often used for filming, as a photographic location and for corporate hospitality.

Enjoy the tranquility, beauty and history of the whole estate for a day, or for longer if you choose to stay awhile in the restored Georgian splendour of The Vean or in one of the estate’s many cottages.
