Waterfall weddings at St Nectan's Glen

What could be more magical than taking your vows deep in the heart of nature? Located near Cornwall’s north coast, St Nectan’s Glen boasts the most breathtaking setting in a secluded wooded valley along the banks of the River Trevillet. Renowned as one of the country’s most spiritual sites and a place of pilgrimage since the 5th century, the venue is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where ancient ivy clad trees and ferns meet serene birdsong and tales of fairies, piskies and spirits.

There’s also an awe-inspiring 60-foot waterfall and an enchanting storybook-style arbour, both of which provide a dreamlike backdrop for a wedding steeped in the wonder of Mother Nature.
