I love visiting National Trust properties and exploring their beautifully maintained gardens. Trelissick House and Gardens has to be my favourite National Trust place. Luckily, I am a National Trust member so I can visit as many times as I like and park for free!
I have been to Trelissick many times and can see myself returning again and again. It is such a lovely place for a walk. You can immerse yourself in beautiful nature and stop off for a nice cake at Crofter’s Cafe.
Catching Up with Good Friends
This is exactly what I did a few Saturdays ago. I went for a lovely long walk with my friend Emily and we gossiped as we walked the many paths through the gardens. We had to keep stopping though so I could take photos of all the lovely flowers and pretty views!
We visited Trelissick House where we walked around admiring the opulent displays of grand furniture and artwork. It always makes me wonder what it would be like to live in a house like this!
Lunch at Crofter’s Cafe
After our walk and tour of the house, Emily and I thought we deserved a sit-down and something to eat. I tucked into a yummy cheese and ham panini whilst Emily got herself some homemade chilli.
We were joined by our friend Carly and her lovely black labrador puppy ‘Biggie Smalls’. Biggie did well and rested whilst we sat and chatted. We must have been there a few hours and so once Carly left Emily and I treated ourselves to some more food at Crofter’s Cafe. This time we enjoyed a caramel shortcake each! Yum yum!
Final Thoughts
I love Trelissick, I fell in love with the place the first time I visited and always enjoy my visits. I enjoyed admiring the displays in July last year which you can read about here. I think visiting in April seemed like another lovely time to visit as all the Spring flowers were in bloom and it was the first sign the weather was starting to improve. No doubt I will be returning to Trelissick soon!

I have never heard of National Trust places are they like national parks?
The Trelissick House and Gardens has to have the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. The greenery, inside decor and trees amazing also!
No way! They own a lot of amazing old houses, gardens and a lot of coastline too. They help preserve places and keep them really well maintained. The flowers and trees are simply beautiful!
What lovely pictures! It looks like such a beautiful, peaceful place to visit (and the food looks and sounds delicious too!)
It was quite busy the day we visited but the gardens are so big you can take yourselves off and find peace and quiet. Food was tasty too!
I really love all the greenery in this post. Those photos of the pink flowers are amazing!!!
So many pink flowers on this visit! I was loving them!

National trust places are the best! They do such good work maintaining all the properties and coastline. Thank you!

Me too! You don’t realise how far you’ve walked or how long you’ve spent exploring which is good!
Beautiful and peaceful place. Perfect for the wonderful pics that you took

So much beauty in this place. I look forward to taking my whole family here someday soon. I can stay here over and over.
I hope you get to visit soon, I’m sure you’d love it!
Beautiful pictures. When we were small, my parents would take us to the Point Defiance Rose Garden for family pictures every year. I imagine that this place would be a wonderful place for that as well!
Aww that sounds lovely! Such beautiful flowers to take pictures of!
This is such beautiful place. I really love to go there for just a day and walk around.
It’s such a lovely place to explore. I will return again and again I’m sure!
I love the pictures of the flowers. It looks like such a beautiful, peaceful place to visit. We have a similar park here near where I live in Poland and it is about time I go visit.
That sounds amazing! I’d love to visit Poland one day!
What an amazing looking place to explore. I can see why you will be returning. The flowers look so beautiful.
Looks like a beautiful place to visit. I love to see the gardens come alive in spring
It does look so very beautiful there. I really love Gardens like this where it feels like it takes you away from the world. There is something so beautiful about that.
Me too! Nothing better than a walk in pretty gardens to clear the mind!
You’ve captured some gorgeous photos . We are big fans of the National trust and go for a walk in our local park at least once a week
Thank you! I love the NT – such amazing places to visit! Glad you hear you enjoy your local park 🙂
I would be in heaven to be surrounded by all of those beautiful flowers. Your photography is gorgeous.
Thanks so much! Such a great place to visit!
I am loving your pictures in this post. As a National Trust member I love how much we have access to for a small price. I will add this to my list of NT places to visit
So glad to hear you are an NT member too – I think it is so worth it! Awesome, I hope you enjoy when you get to visit!
What gorgeous gardens! The flower colors are fabulous. And I’m so glad you got to reconnect with friends. So fun! 🙂
So gorgeous! I love visiting them so much!
