Eden Project

Eden Project: A Living Tapestry in Cornwall’s Clay Country

The Eden Project blooms in South Cornwall’s former clay pits, its iconic biomes humming with life. Inside, the Rainforest dome drips with steamy vines and tropical scents, while the Mediterranean biome offers olive groves, citrus trees, and dry warmth. As kids, we’d drive down from London, windscreens bug-splattered by the time we reached Cornwall, laughing as we scrubbed them clean at journey’s end. Windscreens stay cleaner now—but Eden still dreams of buzzing meadows and wild pollinators.

This isn’t just a visit; it’s a call to live greener. Compost at home. Plant a seed. Let curiosity take root. Whether it’s tracing the curve of the canopy walkway, spotting sculptures in the gardens, or sipping coffee in one of the eco cafés, Eden invites you to pause, imagine, and rethink the world around you. The gift shop offers more than souvenirs—it shares ideas to carry home.

Just a short hop from our fisherman’s cottage, Eden feels both grounded and visionary. St Austell’s brewery may beckon nearby, but it’s Eden’s spark that lingers. Wander the domes, breathe deep, and let the spirit of this place inspire your own patch of earth—wherever that may be.
