Eden has perhaps the most tastiest offering with the whole week being devoted to Chocolate. There is a chocolate quest around the jungle biome where you can trek through the tallest rainforest in captivity to discover the history of this ‘food of the gods’. There is also chocolate lolly making and hot chocolate tasting - yum!
The Lost Gardens of Heligan are celebrating that most beautiful of winter flowers, the Hellebore. These are a real favourite of mine and I'll be making a trip myself to get a couple to add to those I already have in the garden.
Pencarrow House near Bodmin is again opening its doors for their Snowdrop Sunday, this year they are opening twice - the 12th and the 19th. As well as being able to enjoy the grounds there will be stalls selling snowdrops and marmalade and the Peacock Cafe will be serving a heartwarming soup.
Lastly our latest, favourite haunt is the Duchy of Cornwall Nurseries near Lostwithiel, or more specifically the cafe! Libby, Katherine and I have been a couple of times each over the winter and each time we have been treated the most scrumptious, delicious fare which is very reasonably priced to boot! Add to this the wonderful plant nursery and the shop which stocks lots of interesting homeware and gifts and there is enough for a day out in itself.
