Trelissick sits on its own peninsula, with deep blue, calm water surrounding the location on three sides. The water around Trelissick is active, busy and ever-changing with small working boats dredging for oysters, mussel farming and ferries that transport people up and down the river.The King Harry Ferry provides a quick crossing place from Feock to the Roseland peninsula, a busy, yet beautiful tourist route which emphasizes the beauty of the landscape around it. Trelissick has its own pontoon as many visitors arrive by water, this path leads directly to the woodland surrounding Trelissick.

​

There are miles of adventurous and unpredictable woodland walks to get lost in. The open, bright and well-maintained countryside at Trelissick stretches over five-hundred and ninety acres, all of which is dog friendly and suitable for runners, walkers, children and families. The entire area is a listed Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

​

The wild and vast woodland at Trelissick is managed and kept by a large team of park rangers and by farming tenants with beef cattle often grazing the park meaning that the walks are relatively mud-free and accessible to all.

​

As well as famous archaeological sites, bridges, an Iron Age promontory fort - the only one in Europe, hidden creeks and beautiful surroundings, there is an abundance of wildlife at Trelissick, including small animals such as harvest mice, birds such as barn-owls and skylarks and lots of different species of insects. 

​

A small, private beach provides the perfect place to have a swim in the river Fal during the summer. Whilst the highland presents stunning views which overlook Fal Estuary and its everchanging scenery.

​

Whilst Trelissick Gardens are perfect on sunny and warm day, stomping through the woods in wellies on a rainy day provides visitors with a completely different experience. Rain or shine, the woods are enchanting and magical, changing frequently until even the most predictable and well-known paths look drastically different on each visit.

 

The sea surrounding the woodland walks is often peaceful and still, yet during the winter the waves drown out the sound of the trees blowing in the wind and bashing against each other.
