Spring is coming to our local National Trust garden, Trelissick.
The wonderful pale pink Magnolia is in full bloom and can be seen from many viewpoints.
Daffodils and primroses are out amongst the trees.
Snowdrops are just about over as are the little wild cyclamen.
Trelissick is getting ready. There is an Easter Egg hunt in the grounds, followed by an April Daffodil show when hundreds of different varieties will be on show in the Stable yard.
The above picture is of The Water Tower which stands in the grounds watching over us as we come and go. It is now one of the many holiday cottages owned by the National Trust.
The Tower was built in 1865 as a water reservoir for the main house. It's an amazing Victorian building with four stories, one room being on each floor.
The Trust tells us;
How typically Victorian for such a utilitarian building to be designed with such style and embellishments that it resembles the legendary tower of Rapunzel!

The 'cottage' is advertised as being a 'perfect place for a romantic getaway'.
With 50 steps up a steep spiral staircase I think I would be exhausted after climbing up and down them!
However, the interior does look very elegant and has been beautifully furnished.
This is the circular bedroom.
What a unique kitchen!
There are two more floors, with bathroom and sitting room....all circular too.
What do you think?
Would you like a holiday here?
