Come rain or shine...
We invite you to delve into the enchanting beauty of the Pentillie Gardens!
August News
Whether basking in the summer sun or wandering through a gentle drizzle, the Pentillie grounds offer a welcome retreat in every season.
On bright, sunny days, the gardens of Pentillie come alive with vibrant colours and fragrant blooms. August is particularly stunning, as the gardens burst into a spectacular display of summer flowers. The borders are adorned with vibrant dahlias, radiant crocosmia, and delicate cosmos, creating a kaleidoscope of colour. Lavender bushes exude their calming scent, attracting a flurry of bees and butterflies. It's the perfect time to explore the woodland paths, picnic by the river, or simply relax on the lawns with a good book.
Don't let a little rain dampen your spirits! Pentillie Gardens have a unique charm under a soft, misty rain. Equipped with your raincoat and boots, you can enjoy a peaceful stroll through the grounds, discovering hidden corners and serene spots that come to life in the rain. The woodland paths, with their canopies of ancient trees, offer a magical, almost mystical experience when veiled in mist. The rain brings out the lush, green vibrancy of the ferns and mosses, creating a serene, peaceful atmosphere perfect for quiet reflection. The Bathing Hut or Hide provides a cosy retreat where you can warm up with a flask and take in the view of the Tamar Valley.
