15 TRENANCE GARDENS s n e d r a G Trenance Situated just on the outskirts of Newquay Town Centre you will find the picturesque gardens known as Trenance Gardens. Beautiful rose bushes and colourful flowers are what you will see here with a backdrop of magnificent old trees for you to explore. If you pop in the Visit Newquay Tourist Information Centre before you go there is a free Tree Walk booklet available to tell you all about the different trees and flowers within the gardens. In the gardens you will find a hidden little gem, a very charming little Tea Room known as Trenance Cottages which dates back to the 1800’s. Inside this fascinating Grade II listed building you can read all the history and see old pictures of how the cottages used to look and most importantly you can have the chance to try one of the most delicious Cornish Cream Teas around! Boating lake Next to Trenance Gardens you will stumble upon a stunning lake known as the Boating Lake. The Boating Lake is alive with different types of wildlife and a firm favourite for families to wonder around and feed the ducks at all times of the year. If you a feeling a little adventurous then you can hire a pedal boat and explore the lake from the water and get up close to the fountain - not to close though as we wouldn’t want you to get wet!
