Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park

Home of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe for 400 years. The house and furniture have been restored to reflect the 18thC, the period of which this nationally important historic garden was at its peak. Colourful 18thC gardens in the Italian, French and English styles, with newly established American plantation and New Zealand garden. A superb landscaped park, fallow deer, woodland and coastal walks and marvellous view, combine to make Mount Edgcumbe one of the most spectacular attractions in the West Country at any time of the year. One of only three Grade I Listed gardens in Cornwall.
