of the South Cornish Coast. The tiny fisherman's cottages and fish cellars

The Eden Project is run by Tim Smit (of Lost Gardens of Heligan fame), who has raised money to build the world's largest greenhouse. It will house under one roof, the complete range of natural plant habitats found on the Earth , creating the World's largest greenhouse. It is believed that will cost around £74 million and is one of the most impressive of Britain's millennium ventures. The Millennium Commission has agreed a £37 million grant for the venture, the European Regional Development fund £10 million, Private Sector funds £17 million and the balance of £10 million form a number of other grants. This Millennium tourist attraction is expected to attract over half a million visitors every year and also provide a world-class centre for research into of the environment. Yet another one of Cornwall's major sites of interest to visit and explore. |
| The Lost Gardens of Heligan These magnificant gardens were the home of the Tremayne family for more than 400 years, and once covered an area of over one thousand acres. Over the years they gradually fell into a state of neglect, as the green veil of the invading Bramble and Ivy, strangled the gardens like a noose. Following the horrendous hurricane of 1990, the gardens should have been consigned to a footnote in history, had it not been for a small dedicated team of gardeners, inspired by the ambition originally created by Tim Smit, who made the dream a reality. The fruits of their labours can be seen by all at the lost gardens of Heligan, all of which has been carefully restored to its original glory. | ![]() |
