Eden Project

The Eden Project is one of Cornwall’s premier attractions. Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some, Eden is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches. The site also includes expansive outdoor gardens and various art installations and exhibitions. Funded by the Millennium Commission and intended as a way of re-energising the Southwest, the Eden Project opened in March of 2001.
