Introduction
Thomas Bolitho, who was a merchant, moved from Wendron to Penzance in about 1769. His eldest grandson, Edward Bolitho, purchased Trewidden thus starting the creation of Trewidden House and Garden.
Edward Bolitho purchased Trewidden at auction in January 1850. Known as 'Trewidden Bal', and once the site of an ancient tine mine.
The garden is home to one of England’s best collections of Magnolias and Rhododendrons – as well as a collection of over 300 Camellias
