Personally I prefer Heligan, but they're both well worth a visit. Take your own food when you go to Eden; for some reason they don't have a nice cafe like the one at Heligan. We went round Eden and found every sort of vegetable they grow in Sierra Leone.

Thanks Robert I will keep it in mind about taking our own food.
You would think the food in the Eden project would be good wouldn't you.
Markfield Rover thanks for your comment about The Dutchie Of Cornwall its another place to visit.

we had great food at Eden ... in the outside cafe, and upstairs inside (tapas on comfy sofas)

I hope you enjoyed your visit ... it bucketed down when we went
