Mount Edgecumbe House and Country Park

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

17th century diarist Samuel Pepys called Mount Edgcumbe "The Most Beautiful Place As Ever Was Seen". This early Elizabethan mansion with views of Plymouth was built for the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. The interior features portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds and a collection of 16th century tapestries, with period furniture throughout.
Garden: There are two distinct gardens surrounding the romantic Elizabethan manor of Mount Edgcumbe. The first is The Earl's Garden, featuring rare trees, an unusual shell grotoe, and a Victorian terrace overlooking Plymouth Sound. The second is a Formal Garden, in Italian, French, and English styles, with separate garden rooms featuring plants from New Zealand, and an American plantation.
