Antony House

Reviewed By JoB126 - Hayle, United Kingdom

We loved our visit to Antony House. Having just re-joined the National Trust this was our first visit of our new membership and felt so privileged to explore this amazing space which is also the home of the Carew Pole family. The journey through the house is very well thought out and there are some interesting modern pieces mixed in with the historic portraits. The views are lovely and the gardens and landscaped surrounds were breathtaking with vistas down to the river between the majestic trees. It is a property that we will go back to as we didn't have time to visit the woodland garden which is managed by a charitable trust but is open to NT members. (On a personal note there are plenty of places to walk your dogs in the surrounding area so not sure why one would expect that you could take yours into such beautifully kept gardens and grounds!).

Antony Woodland Garden

Antony Woodland Garden is one of Cornwall's best kept secrets, with 100 acres of gardens running along the edge of the Lynher Estuary. The garden is home to one of the UK's best collection of camellias and is recognised as An International Camellia Garden of Excellence as well as housing the National Collection of Camellia Japonica. Camellias aside the garden has the most beautiful collection of magnolias, carpets of wild flowers, stunning views across the river and back towards Antony House, a collection of contemporary sculpture. It is the perfect place to spend a couple of quiet hours surrounded by unparalleled beauty.

Stopped off for a walk after lunch at Wilcove Inn. Beautiful grounds running down to the river with excellent views of Antony House which is run by the National Trust. Well signed walks with seating to enjoy the peace and quiet. Had an interesting chat with a gentleman who was cutting back the ivy. Turns out he was Sir Richard Carew Pole the 13th Baronet....amazing!

Cremyll to Kingsand Walk

Reviewed By plymouthian1

Lots of different trails to take. In Mt Edgcumbe there are formal gardens, wooded areas and beautiful views. A long hilly walk, esp if you have to return, but there is an excellent bus service.

Cremyll Ferry

Reviewed By Coccia8 - Minster on Sea, United Kingdom

Took the Cremyll ferry from Plymouth to Cremyll this week. First time, was g sure what to expect. In fact what we found was a really pleasant and welcoming little foot ferry. From Devon we embarked from Admirals Hard by Elvira’s Cafe and the strand street car park. If the car parks full, go along to Royal William Yard where there’s loads of pay & display. The ferry itself was small but well piloted and Staffed with friendly crew. Tickets are bought in board and they’ll take cash or card. Worth buying a return ticket straight off if you’re coming back that way, a little cheaper. A one way adult is only £2. The crossing takes 8 minutes. From Devon they leave at quarter past and quarter to the hour. From Cremyll, Cornwall side they leave on the hour and half past. The ferry is safe, clean and has an inside so if it’s blowing a Gale you can shelter. Brilliant little ferry, well worth the money and time to use it. If I go to Cremyll again I’ll be back on this ferry

Torpoint Ferry

Reviewed By emmaq926 - Gloucester, United Kingdom

The river Tamar separates Plymouth to Cornwall, you can drive across a bridge or get the torpoint ferry, I’d always opt for the ferry unless there was a significant wait (check the website) when travelling with kids as you can get out of the car and get views of the river. Breaks the journey up a bit and only costs £1.50 for the journey back to Plymouth

My wife and our French Bull Dog Ella visited Mount Edgecumbe House and Country Park during our short stay in Kingsand Bay. We both found the grounds well sign posted and laid out, with lot of interesting things to find and admire, a must place to visit.
