The valley garden was laid out circa 1800 by Sir Robert Were Fox, who lived at Meudon with his wife Anne Maria Barclay. There are some interesting rare plant specimens including Dicksonia Antarctica, Chilean flame trees, lantern bushes, gunnera (giant rhubarb), mimosa, eucalyptus, magnolia, camellias, fruiting bananas, splendid azaleas and rhododendrons, including Meudon and Meudon Vean – developed on the estate.

Robert Were Fox’s wealth came from the Perran Foundry at Perranarworthal and the plants for the garden were shipped in by the Fox family shipping Agents based in Falmouth.
“You can not help but to fall in love with Meudon it holds some sort of magic that I have not experienced any where else. I had the privilege of growing up here and now I have the chance to welcome you to our unspoilt corner of Cornwall”.
