On our holiday to Cornwall we visit Heligan.
Here we saw a beautiful holly.
Does anyone know what kind of holly it is.

Hallo Mearn

What you have is not a holly but Desfontainia spinosa.

Thank you for your response. We thought it was a holly because of its leaves.
But we could not find the flowers corresponding with any of the pictures of a holly.
