Four miles north-west of Bodmin lies the fifty acre estate of Pencarrow, originally mentioned in the Domesday Book. The house is close to the curiously named village of Washaway. Pencarrow Gardens were laid out, mainly during the first half of the 19th century, by Sir William Molesworth, a radical statesman. He planted a specimen of almost every known conifer considered sufficiently hardy to stand a chance of surviving the British climate. Many of the trees and flowering shrubs here are too tender to survive in any part of Britain.
