The Edgcumbe Arms, also know as "the inn in the park" and the "ancient gateway
to Cornwall" sits in the estate of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, amongst the 800
acres of coastal walks and natural beauty of unspoilt countryside dating back to
the 15th century. Alternatively you can visit the city of Plymouth just a short
boat trip away and discover the museums, shops and night life. Whether Plymouth
draws you or the quiet coastal, fishing, or golf we want to make your stay with
us as comfortable as we can.
Your hosts, Steve and Pat.
MOUNT EDGCUMBE AND THE RAME PENINSULA
Mount Edgcumbe Country Park covers 865 acres of spectactular coastal scenery and countryside. Within the Country Park
you will discover the herds of wild deer; Formal Gardens and landscaped woodlands with breathtaking panoramic views;
historic buildings including forts, a temple, a folly and an Orangery; the National Camelia Collection and more than 180 species of trees.
But that's not all. Mount Edgcumbe lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the rame Peninsula, where exposed heath-covered
headlands and cliffs contrast with wooded slopes leading down to sheltered tidal lakes. It's landscape patched with ancient fields and dotted
with medieval farmhouses, in which 19th century forts and gun batteries lay hidden amongst the gorse and bracken, and the tightly-packed
fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand tumble down to the shore.
