Places to stay in Torpoint
There are several wonderful tourist attractions in Torpoint, the most impressive being Mount Edgcumbe House which is considered one of the most beautiful historic sights in Cornwall and Antony Woodland Garden. Just north of Torpoint, Anthony Gardens will delight you with 100 acres of gardens and natural woodland bordering the Lynher Estuary. Here you will find extensive woodland and riverside walks, numerous wild flowers, magnolias, a huge variety of camellias and birds. Mount Edgcumbe House is the former home of Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. The restored Tudor home and gardens consists of 865 acres of Country Park overlooking Plymouth Sound. Miraculously the walls of the red stone Tudor House survived being hit by a bomb in 1941 and was restored by the 6th Earl in 1958 and has been beautifully furnished by family possessions. The magnificent gardens are formal gardens including Italian, French, English, American and New Zealand sections in addition to the historic buildings. For a change of venue take the historic Cremyll to Kingsand Walking Trail which is an easy, nearly level walk with views of Plymouth, The Sound and The South Hams and goes through Kingsand & Cawsand, two lovely quiet villages, as well as having beautiful views of Rame Head and its chapel.
