Pencarrow House & Gardens
This privately owned estate is a great choice for all ages to visit. Located between Wadebridge & Bodmin, with a mile long driveway passing through an iron age hill fort (definitely worth exploring) up to the house & gardens. The gardens are spectacular, with 50 acres of woodland and parkland. There is an impressive Victorian rock garden, formal gardens and an ice house to explore, along with a large lake which looks stunning & stocked with beautiful plants plus a variety of birdlife using this water oasis as a home.
Guided tours can be taken through parts of this Georgian mansion which has a total of 50 rooms. The Molesworth-St Albyn family, the current owners, live in the property & you can sense a real piece of family history being brought to life as you wander round the collection of priceless paintings, porcelain and furniture.
Rhododendrons, camellias and bluebells are especially a sight to behold & it's well worth a visit timed to view these beautiful plants when they are in full bloom within the gardens.
Children will enjoy playing with the toys provided for them within the pretty Wendy house located near to the tea rooms & why not pop in to the onsite gift shop to perhaps spoil them with a treat as a reminder of this outing during their stay in Cornwall !
A visit to the tea room is definitely recommended whilst you are there & is the perfect pit stop to sample something delicious and home made from the menu before continuing to explore this lovely estate.
