Wild flower meadows descend to three large ponds full of aquatic plants, birds and insects. A meandering path leads along a grass meadow, down through the woods then out onto a wetland area full of wildflowers, orchids, dragonflies and butterflies. Gardeners will enjoy this one just as much as the wildlife does. 

There is a large area of car parking and you can’t miss the signs. They have been specially produced by owner Phillip Hambly in the shape of Kingfishers with the beak of the bird showing the way.

Chris Betty, Communications Officer for the Trust, says, 

“We are so grateful to the gardens which open for the Trust and Lethytep is an old friend. We are sure you will enjoy visiting this one just as much as we do.”

This will be the sixth year the Trust has run their Open Gardens fundraising scheme which has grown year on year and provides much-needed funds to protect the wildlife and wild places of Cornwall. The event now has an overall sponsor with Cornwall tourism company Stayincornwall.co.uk
