2. Antony Woodland Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 46 reviews
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!

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.

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

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.

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.
