Morrab Gardens are a hidden oasis in the heart of Penzance, Cornwall. The mild climate of West Cornwall means that plants from around the world thrive and it benefits from a south-facing slope and a favoured location.

They are a peaceful retreat well worth seeking out if you visit Penzance and offer a calm, green spot if you’re a local resident.
