Cotehele, 
Saltash , Cornwall

Cotehele House, built by the Edgcumbe family in the late 15th century, stands at the head of a valley garden dropping steeply to the River Tamar. Exotic and tender plants thrive in the mild climate and there is something to see throughout the year, with rhododendrons and azaleas a highlight. Medieval stewpond and 15th century dovecot. More formal gardens surround the Cotehele House, including terraces whilst in the springtime the meadow beyond the north-west tower is carpeted with daffodils.
At Christmas time the main hall is decorated with magnificent garlands of dried flowers taken from the gardens in the summer.
A must visit property so visit when the house is open.
This is a lovely property and well worth seeing - Editor
