Stumble upon the Lost Valley with its enchanting ponds and exquisite wildflowers - carpeted with Bluebells in the spring. A peaceful home to both wildlife, ancient trees and the traditional practices of coppicing and charcoal burning.
All of our woodland is managed sustainably and every part of every tree felled is used in the best way possible - be it in a new building, charcoal production, our Wood Project, as fuel or a home for wildlife.

The Charcoal Kilns and Charcoal Building
Located deep in the Lost Valley, the evocative sight and smell of wood smoke will guide you to the kilns. Here we produce charcoal for BBQs, gardeners and artists; all of which is available to purchase from the Heligan Shop should you wish to cook your sausages in a sustainable manner or create Heligan inspired artwork.
