Calstock - Cotehele House 
|
|
Cotehele House, a mainly Tudor manor house with some earlier (15th C) gates and towers, has original furnishings dating back to Stuart times; also 17th-18th C tapestries. The spacious terraced garden is charming.
Cotehele House once belonged to the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. This medieval mansion, which was built from gray granite between 1485 and 1539, has survived largely unaltered and contains fine furniture, needlework and weapons.
The terraced garden overlooks the river Tamar. It has formal courtyards, a medieval dovecote, a walled garden, pools and a working water mill.
There is also a small museum on the property.
