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 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!

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. The Park is open daily all year round with 860 acres of beautiful landscape (including the National Camellia Collection), gardens and beaches to explore. The House is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-4.30pm (last admission at 4pm) between April and September; on Sundays only outside this period for timed tours. Special openings for guided tours of the House can also be booked. The House is an exclusive licensed venue for civil ceremonies for 2 to 120 guests plus a choice of two stunning reception venues. There are a number of stunning self catering cottages and glamping accommodation available to book on the Park. With shops, galleries, activities, workshops and cafes, there's something for everyone to enjoy at this beautiful place.
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.

Nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. I'm a big fan of a proper 'Pub Curry' and the Chicken Madras was a proper old school Pub Ruby, smashing. The menu offered some pub favourites such as scampi, burgers etc. Good range of beers. Nice place for a pub dinner.
