The garden was Barbara Hepworth's own creation and was gradually filled with her sculptures. Gravel paths lead you in between exotic plantings to her workshop. There is a raised pond and there are glimpses of the sea. Barbara Hepworth was one of the Nation's greatest craftsman and more of her works can be seen at the Tate Gallery in St Ives.

Lanhydrock House and Gardens, near Bodmin are set at the bottom of a hill and flanked by woodland. A long drive leads down to the house through the park which contains some exceptional trees many dating from 1634. The main plant collection at Lanhydrock however is young but links to the Victorian theme.
