Caerhays Website 

Home to a National Magnolia Collection, the gardens here at Caerhays are a spring-time wonderland for visitors. If you haven’t seen a 100 year old Magnolia tree in flower then you are really missing out. The plants we have in our gardens are nothing like you will see out and about. Many are huge, old, spectacular in colour, shape and perfume. The 140 acre woodland gardens are English Heritage Listed Grade II*. The origins of this historically important collection of Chinese plants can be traced back to the work of the great plant hunters Ernest Wilson (1876 – 1930) and George Forrest (1873 – 1932). The gardens also feature many rhododendrons, camellias and trees which are nationally classed as Champion Trees by the Tree Register.
