What a fabulous Estate and magnificent tranquil garden’s, shame about the elusive Simply Red Squirrels 🐿 I love the water Lilly feature, very original, and I thought the recycled wheel structure was ingenious and one way of using up old rubbish is quite remarkable, the whole experience brought back memories of the book and movie ‘The Secret Garden’ one of my favourite 🤩 memories! thank you 🙏 again Andrew & Sarah for a lovely relaxed walk about, 🤗
Incredible walk today. Peaceful, beautiful sights around each turn. Can you imagine taking your daily walk here everyday. Thanks so much for making my afternoon nap a very peaceful time.👟👟🌲🌿🌺🌹🌞
Hi Sarah and Andrew…lovely the house…lovely to think it could be ours! 😉wow beautiful place indeed…loved how you hugged “Ronald” too cute 🌼have an amazing weekend Ana 🌹
Hi Guys, so glad you made a visit to Trewithen Gardens ...one of the best in Cornwall in my opinion 🙏💝. Many happy an hour volunteering when I was doing my RHS course. Like you say, such a peaceful place to wander and so different around each corner. I have to confess on getting lost once or twice 😂. There are definitely a few new additions to the garden since my last visit..so I must go again soon 👌😁😘
We felt like we were getting lost along all of those paths but I think that's part of it's charm! We want to go back when the real fireworks are happening! Sarah :)
Wonderful gardens! So peaceful. Love the naturalized foxgloves. You must go back and film that wisteria arbor in full bloom! The Secret Garden was a favorite book from my childhood. Impactful vistas and curved paths to maintain the mystery of 'what's around the next corner' are key in 18th Century garden design. I discovered Monty Don's series Secret History of the British Garden, and became obsessed with it. Capability Brown, Humphrey Repton, William Kent, Joseph Paxton; their influences found in palace grounds, grand estates, and smaller holdings. There is an impressive haha at Chatsworth...the Duke wanted his bucolic view with cows and sheep, but it wouldn't do to have them munching the roses by the back door, lol. During these August doldrums, what a treat to revisit a lovely June day. :)
Thank you for this lovely garden walk. I first came across a ha-ha in "Mansfield Park". I think the one you saw was quite shallow. They are normally deep enough to keep animals like deer or farm animals from reaching the landscaped gardens and lawns :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew. Really enjoyed your nature garden walk around the gardens today so peaceful and relaxing and brillant design it looks so naturail.
Wikipedia states A ha-ha, also known as a sunk fence, blind fence, ditch and fence, deer wall, or foss, is a recessed landscape design element that creates a vertical barrier while preserving an uninterrupted view of the landscape beyond from the other side.
This was a beautiful start of my day 🥰 All the lovely flowers and the huge rhododendrons which are almost beyond belief. I grew up with red squirrels in the garden outside our kitchen window in Norway, and they are so pretty. And I once saw a Ha-ha in the lawn as a straight line in front of the Royal Crescent in Bath, but I didn't know it had such a funny name 😁 Thank you for sharing your adventures. Torunn 😍
Our red squirrel population is much reduced in the UK due to loss of habitat and the grey squirrel. I think their numbers are greatest in Scotland where there are still large areas of evergreen fir and pine trees. They are so cute! Sarah :)
Hi, My late Sister and I stayed in a hotel in the Royal Crescent some years ago, I would never have guessed in a million years I was looking at a ‘Ha-ha’ What a wonderful world we live in! 😊
@@CornishWalkingTrails The grey squirrels are obviously invading and taking over the habitat of the red 😞 I remember once on the Isle of Wight, there was a danger sign beside the road, with an exlamation mark and the text "Red Squirrels" 🙂 I don't know the purpose of the sign, perhaps to be careful and not hit them with the car...? 🙂
Delightful! Love secret gardens took me right back to the book( & film) there. Some beautiful flower & bird shots too! We have seen Ha Ha's in Croome a National Trust property near us, a design feature loved by Capability Brown to keep livestock out & create the image of a perfect lawn with uninterrupted views. Apparently it's the element of surprise on coming across one that makes you say Ha Ha ( presuming you don't approach from the other direction & fall 6ft + into a steep ditch where I imagine more 'cross' words might be uttered) 😳🤣 Love your films (& humour) Simply Red squirrels🐿️🤣🤣 - keep them coming !
Ha ha, so called, because it was designed so that cattle could add a picturesque element into the landscape without straying into the more formal areas. Consequently, people exclaimed "Ha ha" when they realised how the effect was achieved. Best John
Another great video guys, your two choices of music for this beautiful and enchanting garden was absolutely perfect adding to the magical feel of the place and those cakes at the cafe looked totally delicious, must stop by here the next time i am lucky enough to get back to visit Cornwall, have really missed not getting there this year.
We had at the beautiful school that we attended. There would be a large drop the other side of the wall. I don't t know how true it is, we said if you sat on the wall and fell to the other side everyone would laugh i. e the HA HA HA wall
But really it was, if you looked out of the windows the wall would enable you to see from miles beyond. Gwernyfed High School, surround by The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.
The Ha ha is a deep trench to prevent cattle straying from pasture land onto formal lawns, John.
Tranquil & beautiful, loved the choice of music. Perfect viewing on a warm day like today.
Wonderful cafe too! Sarah :)
Gorgeous . One to file under "things to watch on a cold dank day "
I agree! A drop of summer joy! Sarah :)
Beautiful walk and wonderful music. Thank you for brightening our day!
Cheers! Sarah :)

I loved the book as a child and read it several times. I've not seen the movie yet, partly because I treasure my own memories of reading it! Sarah :)

You're welcome, Sarah :)
beautiful place, that's a must visit next time I'm in Cornwall. Thanks for a great walk-a-round. Bob

Beautiful place,made more interesting by you two,as always.x
Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it! Sarah :)
Wow, thank you for your videos 😍
No problem 😊
Gorgeous ! Thanks for that lovely vlog. We shall be visiting Cornwall this June, and Trewithen is now on our 'to do' list.
Wow those flowers were absolutely jaw dropingly beautiful. What a great little find 🙂
Thank you both of you. With watching you two and my gin and tonic I’m relaxed.
Andrew & Sarah lovely video , watched while having my morning ☕️👍🌹
Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)

it was a joy to wander around, Sarah :)
What a lovely, relaxing place to visit. Plenty of room, quite quiet, especially given covid on the rise. Enjoyed your presentation as always.
Not been as busy this year! Sarah :)

@@TravellingTorunn Amazing, thank you 😊
I visited Trewithen one time about 25 years ago. I guess I need to get out more, but I’ll leave it until the tourists have gone home.
We have been 'brave' and ventured out while the tourists are here and it's not been too bad, more like a normal summer! Sarah :)

That's a funny thought! Sarah :)
I laughed out loud at the reference to Simply Red! (You could have sung "Red, red wine" to the squirrels)

It has been a lot more manageable this year, with fewer visitors compared to the last couple of years - back to normal! Sarah :)
Thanks, nice gardens .Might visit myself next year in the spring.
That's what we were thinking, to capture all of those early flowers and lift the spirits! Sarah :)
We had at the beautiful school that we attended. There would be a large drop the other side of the wall. I don't t know how true it is, we said if you sat on the wall and fell to the other side everyone would laugh i. e the HA HA HA wall
Another great video, thank you. 😊 I love your voices, ever thought of doing ASMR?
A ha ha is like a he he, but if you walk along going he he ha ha, ha ha he he, they lock you up, ha he.
They're coming to take me away ha ha
Ha! Ha! great! Sarah :)
But really it was, if you looked out of the windows the wall would enable you to see from miles beyond. Gwernyfed High School, surround by The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.
Ha! Ha! Sounds amazing! Sarah :)
To The Manor Born..........
Ha Ha Ha wall. In gardens of Georgian stately Homes. Lower than most walls
A ha ha was built in place of a wall so the landowner could enjoy uninterrupted views of the landscape while still containing their livestock.
