Owner: The National Trust
At the heart of this riverside estate, the house at Cotehele was mainly built 1485–1627 and was a home of the Edgcumbe family for centuries. Its granite and slatestone walls contain intimate chambers adorned with tapestries, original furniture and armour.
Outside, the formal gardens overlook the richly planted valley garden below, with medieval dovecote, stewpond and Victorian summer-house, and 18th-century tower above. Cotehele Mill has been restored to working condition, and at the Quay there are interesting old buildings housing an art and craft gallery and an outstation of the National Maritime Museum.
The restored Tamar sailing barge Shamrock is moored alongside. A network of footpaths throughout the estate provides a variety of riverside and woodland walks with a high nature conservation and industrial archaeology interest.
Note: The number of visitors in the fragile house has to be limited to a maximum of 80 at a time and not more than 600 in one day. There is no electric light, so visitors should avoid dull days early and late in the season.
