Places to Stay - The South West

The Eden Project

Visit the Eden Project in Cornwall

Crops, landscapes and wild plants which reflect the amazing diversity of the planet are all to be found at The Eden Project.

There's also internationally famous architecture and art which draw inspiration from nature; and a stage on which people working to make our world a better place can tell their stories.

The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 1.25 miles from the town of St Blazey and 3 miles from the larger town of St Austell

The complex comprises a number of domes that house plant species from around the world, with each emulating a natural biome. The domes are made out of hundreds of hexagons plus a few pentagons that interconnect the whole construction together; each of these is a transparent cushion made of tough plastic. The first dome emulates a tropical environment, the second a warm temperate, Mediterranean environment.
