Glendurgan, a great Cornish garden.

Another beautiful crisp autumn day.

We drove over to Glendurgan on the Helford River.

Cornwall’s sheltered south coast has enabled many great gardens to flourish and Glendurgan, recently handed over to the National Trust, is worth a visit on a good day anytime between March and November.

Here are a few shots from today, including the lovely shale beach at Durgan, and the Durgan hamlet.
