The Lost Gardens of Heligan parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is at The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Pentewan, St Austell. The course is run on a mixture of permanent paths and trail paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

“Great day out. Stunning gardens, helpful staff. Fabulous walks, sculptures and farm.”sheila Kent · 5 stars

“Scenic, undulating, occasionally muddy… and great fun. We were in Mevagissey visiting my nephew and his family, so when we heard there was a fairly new parkrun nearby, it felt rude not to give it a go. As seasoned…”Paul Monaghan · 5 stars
