Historic Houses of Devon & Cornwall
From £695
Summary
The neighbouring counties of Devon and Cornwall offer a rich selection of historic houses across a broad expanse of English history, from medieval times through the Tudor, Georgian and Victorian eras and into the twentieth century.
Buckland Abbey is the oldest property in our selection, dating back to the 13th century, and once the home of one of England’s greatest adventurers. Prideaux Place has its origins in the Norman Conquest though the house we see today dates from the reign of Elizabeth I, and we see another fine Tudor house at Cothele in Devon. Lanhydrock, designed as an ‘unpretentious’ family home, dates back to the 17th century, while the Georgian era is represented by the grand house at Killerton. While Castle Drogo has the appearance of a medieval fortress it was actually built in the early 20th century by the renowned Edwardian architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Each house is steeped in family stories and reflects the uniquely colourful tapestry of English history.
Please note: most of the properties included in this tour are owned by the National Trust and as many of our guests are NT/NTS members, we have not included admission costs for these properties. There is therefore a supplement of £65.00 for non-members.
