WELCOME TO TANGLEWOOD

A little wilder by design.

Tanglewood is nine acres of natural garden and woodland, tucked away in the Cornish countryside near Penzance.

Created by Kerry and Tony more than 25 years ago, it’s a place where nature is allowed to be wild. Four ponds, woodland, native planting and wilder corners provide a home for an abundance of wildlife, and winding paths invite you to slow down, wander and see what you discover.

Bring a picnic, find a bench and stay a while. Tanglewood has deliberately remained wonderfully uncommercialised, offering something increasingly hard to find: a peaceful place simply to explore and enjoy.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAY OUT

Slow down, take a wander and stay a while.

WILD BY NATURE

No manicured borders or perfectly clipped lawns. Tanglewood is allowed to grow a little differently.

BRING A PICNIC

Find a quiet spot or settle in with a book, and enjoy the garden at your own pace.

BRING THE DOG

Four-legged visitors are very welcome too, we just ask they be kept on a lead.

WORDS FROM OUR VISITORS

  • “Discovered this wonderful place today and absolutely loved it.“

    “It was truly magical and loved all the wild flowers. There were foxgloves, orchids, stunning pink and yellow lilies.
    Full of surprises, loved the sense of humour especially and the very friendly ducks who we fed by hand.
    There was also Jack the peacock.
    Loads of perfect picnic places and tables and chairs and a lovely place for all ages.
    Definitely worth a visit you won’t be disappointed but remember it’s WILD!”

  • “Paradise for children!”

     “There’s magical fairy doors, sticks, exploring, feeding the ducks, amusing (but also excellent) sculptures and artworks and, at the weekends, a superb cake hut which even serves pond juice.
    My son says the pond juice was excellent. Ducks, Guinea fowl, peacocks, budgies, quail as well as numerous wild birds and wildlife. My son (age 9) describes it as ‘fun and relaxing’. I concur.”

  • “A magical place 💜”

     “We were planning to go elsewhere but found this place instead and we are so happy we did. A wild creative space, beautiful ponds and scattered art everywhere, perfect for a picnic, family day out or just to sit in nature for a bit. We have added it to our list of “must come back yearly” places. Will recommend. 11 out of 10″

  • “Visited again this week!“

     “Great for kids who love to explore, lots of lakes / ponds, some very well stocked with huge fish. There’s games dotted around for children and adults alike to play including a huge chess board. We really enjoy it here and it’s never overly busy so great for getting away from the crowds in peak season and it’s very fairly priced. Would highly recommend. Take wellies or walking boots after heavy rains. Oh good little cafe for drinks and delicious cake too! “
