 Cotehele House - One of Cornwall's premier medieval houses.

NTPL/Andreas Von Einseidel 		Enchanted and remote, perched high above the wooden banks of the Tamar, Cotehele was owned by the Edgcumbe family for nearly six centuries. One of the least-altered medieval houses in the country, it contains original furniture, armour and a remarkable set of tapestries.

There is much more to Cotehele than just the house, however. The large estate is criss-crossed with miles of riverside and woodlands walks linking together the many, varied elements.

The steeply terraced garden with pools, dovecote and the Prospect Tower, a working watermill and adjoining estate workshops, industrial ruins in the Danescombe Valley, and the Quay with a tea room, art and craft gallery and museum, and the restored Tamar sailing barge Shamrock moored alongside.
