Originally a slate quarry, the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery began life producing forest trees in the late 1960s. It started to sell plants to the public in 1974 and went on to become one of the largest and most well-respected nurseries in the South West. Our nursery has grown a great deal since it began over 50 years ago.

A Hidden Gem on the Hillside – A Must-Visit Nursery Near Lostwithiel
We recently revisited this lovely nursery nestled in the hillside overlooking the picturesque town of Lostwithiel, and were absolutely delighted by the transformation since our last visit. The changes are not only noticeable—they’re impressive, and all for the better.
The main hall still houses a welcoming, pet-friendly restaurant, perfect for a relaxed bite with your furry companion. In addition, a new booking-only restaurant has been introduced, offering a pet-free environment for those seeking a quieter, more refined dining experience. Both options work beautifully and cater to different visitor needs.
The shop itself has been thoughtfully extended, with spacious display areas that invite you to wander and explore. The layout is airy and accessible, showcasing a stunning selection of plants, garden accessories, and seasonal décor. The quality and presentation of the stock are exceptional—clearly curated with care and creativity.
Outside, the nursery has expanded even further. A vast outdoor display area now complements the indoor space, offering an inspiring range of plants and garden features. There’s also a charming seasonal café outdoors, ideal for enjoying a coffee while soaking in the views and fresh air.
What truly stands out is the sheer beauty of the plants on display. The variety is remarkable, and everything is arranged with such attention to detail that it’s a joy to browse. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just looking for something special to brighten your home, you’ll find plenty to admire and take home.
Overall, this nursery has evolved into a destination in its own right. It’s a perfect blend of horticultural excellence, thoughtful hospitality, and scenic charm. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!

Great place for a coffee or food. Lovely atmosphere. Lots of outside seating. Friendly staff. Gorgeous plants, reasonably priced. Super shop with up market products from cards to candles and glassware to soft toys. Would recommend.
