Caerhays Castle
Caerhays Castle, located on the Cornish coast, is a masterpiece of early 19th-century architecture. Designed by the renowned architect John Nash for the Trevanion family, the castle was completed in 1808. It stands as a testament to the Gothic Revival style, blending picturesque elegance with rugged coastal beauty.
The estate’s history, however, predates the current structure. The Trevanion family had owned the land since the late 14th century, with their fortunes rising and falling over the centuries. In the early 1800s, John Bettesworth Trevanion’s passion for landscaping and horticulture led to the creation of the stunning gardens that surround the castle. These gardens, influenced by the exotic plant collections of the Victorian era, remain a key feature of the estate today.
After financial difficulties in the late 19th century, the estate was sold to the Williams family, who have meticulously maintained and enhanced both the castle and gardens. Caerhays Castle is now celebrated for its exceptional collection of magnolias and camellias, attracting horticulture enthusiasts from around the world.
