Please contact the curator for details of the current exhibits at Mevagissey Museum. Sir Richard Edgcumbe of Cotehele built a new home in his deer park at Mount Edgcumbe in 1547-53. The museum has a permanent display of the history of Cornwall from the Stone Age to the present day, as well as the natural history of Cornwall, a world famous collection of minerals, a pre-eminent collection of ceramics. Rosemoor is now firmly established as a garden of National importance. Since it was gifted to the Society in 1988 by Lady Anne Berry an intensive programme of development has created a 40 acre garden of great variety and interest.
Distances shown are in a direct line.
Distances by road will be longer. Padstow is a paradise for those who love seafood. The views from the Victorian Metropole are pretty spectacular, standing as it does on a hill overlooking the harbour and Camel estuary. The Cliff Head Hotel faces south, close to the beach with fine sea-views and cliff walks. The hotel is set in its own grounds in the centre of the Cornish Riviera.
