The Eden Project
On a recent trip to Cornwall I went to see the Eden Project. This amazing futuristic piece of architecture, designed by Nicholas Grimshaw is breathtaking in its beauty. The two large biomes sit at the bottom of a former china clay pit like an alien city. A meandering path takes you down to the biomes past a series of beautifully planted landscapes including lush vegetable gardens. I had heard a lot of about the Eden project but nothing quite prepares you for the first sight of this amazing structure as you approach the side of the clay pit. A must see if you are ever in Cornwall.
