About this property
Still a largely undiscovered treasure, and the result of centuries of sophistication and extravagance, Saltram is now the perfect family day out: close to Plymouth and yet in a world of its own. Home to the Parker family for nearly 300 years, the house with its original contents provides a fascinating insight into country estate life throughout the centuries. Fine Robert Adam interiors and beautiful collections bring the 'age of elegance' to life at Saltram. Learn about some of the fascinating characters and family stories, including the correspondence of Frances, the second Countess, with Jane Austen, and John, Lord Boringdon's, great friendship with Sir Joshua Reynolds. Explore the magnificent garden and romantic follies, and enjoy discovering many secluded spots throughout the landscape park and estate bordering the Plym estuary. For younger visitors there are children's activities rooms and a family trail to help you discover the secrets of Saltram, while the garden can be enjoyed with our family explorer packs.
