Wander restored Victorian gardens, a subtropical jungle and Europe's only remaining pineapple pit, near Mevagissey.
Heligan is a set of Victorian gardens near Mevagissey that were neglected after the First World War and restored in the 1990s. The story is a big part of the visit: 16 of the gardeners died in the war, and the gardens were lost to the brambles before being brought back to life.
Tip: Pre-booking is advisable for day visitors, and if you use a sat nav, approach via St Austell and follow the brown signs to avoid narrow single-track lanes.

12 reviews from guests who stayed at Sun Valley
Mobile home clean, spacious and modern. John the park supervisor was very helpful. Indoor pool very clean. The food we ate at the on-site restaurant was amazing. Overall really good holiday at sun valley.
We have just returned from a 3 night weekend break here (1st to 4th July ‘22) and we would highly recommend. We stayed in Fowey lodge and we were incredibly impressed at the quality of the accommodation and the peaceful location. The on site restaurant ‘Rebellion’ was a further surprise! We needed up eating here every day of our stay, the food is superb. We used the indoor pool (you need to book a time slot) and had it all to ourselves. John the park manager is pleasant and helpful and told us the pool was a pleasant 29°, very warm and inviting. He was also helpful in advising us of places to visit to make the most of our short stay. We went to the harbour village Charlestown (beautiful) and the lovely fishing village of Mevagissey both of which are a short drive away. We would recommend and would certainly stay again in future. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Very helpful and accommodating staff. Wonderfully quiet location. Perfect
Sun valley is in an excellent location for visiting many places surrounding St.Austell. The property, Fowey, is much larger than appears in the pictures, plenty of room inside, the hot tub is freshly filled for your arrival and checked twice daily. We had a great holiday.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The problems were that there was no wife and having a 15 year old that's important. I also found out on the saturday before we arrived that the bar and restaurant would not be open until the Thursday night which was the night before we left
A great site, with lots to do in the surrounding area. Not far from the beach. The lodge was beautiful, clean and well equipped. The only downside was there was no WiFi and very little phone signal, but if you want to get away from it all this is the place for you.
We as a family of 4 and 2 x dogs had a great stay at Sun Valley. The accommodation was good value and in lovely green surroundings. Location is great for getting out and about with Mevagissey our favourite place in Cornwall just a few minutes drive away. There’s a nice walk along the cycle track down to the Ship Inn and Pentewan beach.
Mobile signal is only available near the entrance of the park but it was quite nice to have a bit of a digital detox. There is Wi-Fi available at the on-site restaurant.
First time we have been to this site everything was just how we wanted it and are looking forward to our next trip and booking
We stayed in the fowey for a week 4 adults 2 children and a 4month old baby. The house was perfect for our family's needs, it was spotless and decorated to a high standard.
Our holiday was made perfect by how friendly welcoming and helpful the staff all where especially John nothing was ever to much for him, even if he couldn't pronounce fowey correctly and kept calling it foyey ? (sorry John I couldn't resist ?). The site and all amenities where spotless.
Lovely site for chilling and relaxing.not far from anywhere but highlight for me was the donkey sanctuary, Charlestown is a must to visit it is really just down the road 5 mins away in car. Plenty of supermarkets within 5 min of driving.
Brilliant location, ideal to get to st Austell, charlestown, mevigessey and beautiful local coastline and countryside.
Lovely clean caravan with all facilities and more for a bronze caravan, exceeded expectations
Holiday and site really lovely the only disappointing thing was there were no doors out onto the veranda, you had go through the kitchen down steps walk along and up some more steps to the veranda. Apparently the only lodge on the site like it, this put a dampener on our holiday.
