The 9 Most Bizarre Gardens in the World

Lost Gardens of Heligan: Cornwall, England

Heligan is actually one of the most mystifying manors in England. It was lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of World War 1, and this Sleeping Beauty was re-awakened in the early nineties to become Europe’s largest garden restoration project.

Spread out on more than 200 acres and containing the “UK’s only jungle,” these Lost Gardens are probably most recognized by the three particularly whimsical leafy sculptures they have: The Mudmaid, the Giant’s Head of Heligan, and the Grey Lady.

Visiting here feels like a trip inside a storybook. One that’s 200 years old! While visiting this bizarre garden, be sure to check out the “Pineapple Pit” on the land!
