Important Announcement
After careful consideration over the past few weeks, we have made the decision to postpone the opening of Caerhays Castle Gardens to Monday, 2 March 2026. Recent storms and persistent wet weather have created challenging conditions, and our garden team has been working tirelessly to prepare the grounds for visitors.
This short delay will provide the additional time needed to ensure the gardens are safe and ready to welcome you. The safety of our visitors remains our highest priority.
