Enys Gardens Bluebell Festival & Affordable Art Exhibition

If you are visiting Penryn during the season of the famous Enys Garden bluebell festival in May then you must spend some time appreciating one of Cornwall’s oldest gardens.

As far back as the early eighteenth Century, Enys was acknowledged in the Magna Britania for it’s fine gardens, which suggests the gardens were already well established.

From the parkland bluebells in, Park lye, untouched for hundreds of years to the well matured and maintained gardens abundant in specimens from all over the world. It is easy to see why this is one of the most photographed gardens in Cornwall.

The Bluebell Festival Runs from April 30th - May 7th

....although this is always at the discretion of the bluebells themselves!
