Cotehele
Set in the heart of this riverside estate, Cotehele was mainly built between 1485 and 1627 and was the home of the Edgcumbe family for centuries. It is built of local granite, slate and sandstone. The interior, unlit by electricity, holds a remarkable collection of tapestries and textiles, the original furniture and arms and armour is hung in the great hall. The chapel contains the oldest domestic working clock in England. A series of formal gardens, terraces, a medieval stewpond and a domed dovecote are set in the wooded slopes overlooking the green valley below.
