Gyllyngdune Gardens

Gyllyngdune Gardens Falmouth were completed in 1907 with the official opening conducted from the bandstand situated in the gardens. The Princess Pavilion was added in 1910. Adjacent to the Princess Pavilion complex are the upper Gyllyngdune Gardens, consisting of the verandah, original Edwardian bandstand and greenhouse, which are used for garden fetes and afternoon and evening band concerts.

This section of the gardens is set out formally and is extremely well cared for, being an exquisite vista during the spring and summer season for the residents and visitors to Falmouth. A few minutes stroll down through the rose garden, past the secret grotto, natural play area and monolithic arch, brings you to the seafront with wonderful views of Pendennis Castle and Gyllyngvase Beach.
