One unusual "Garden" visit in Cornwall is the church yard at St Just in Roseland. The church dates from the 13th Century and is built by a tidal creek, local legend claims that Joseph of Arimathea brought a young Jesus to Cornwall, and that he landed at St Just in Roseland. Regardless of legends, the location really is stunning, with the graveyard and ancient gravestones hosting a delightful garden.
The church is one of Cornwalls most visited, and facilities, including new car parking and a tea room have popped up adjacent to the church grounds.

The churchyard is full of trachycarpus fortunei
It wouldnt be a Cornish garden without a large Gunnera clump.

An unusual public space, very much a garden, but also so much more. The church is close to St Mawes, a small town opposite Falmouth, and well worth a visit too.
