Cotehele

There’s something new in the garden for you to discover 365 days of the year. Spanning 14 acres plus 12 acres of orchard, it has variety far beyond the average garden on account of its terrain, rills and juxtaposition to the house.

The historic Cotehele Quay on the banks of the River Tamar is a great place to start exploring the wider Cotehele estate.

Open daily from dawn to dusk, the Cotehele estate spans 1,300 acres and includes woodland and fields, industrial ruins, flora, fauna and working farm buildings.

This gentle, circular walk is a great introduction to the native woodland and river views of the Cotehele estate.

This circular walk from Cotehele Quay takes you through Cotehele and Bohetherick Woods, exploring semi-natural ancient woodland and taking in the sensory experience of the river and trees.

This walk starts at Cotehele Quay and leads you through the fantastic Danescombe Valley to take in buildings from the rich mining history of this world heritage site.

'Shamrock' is a lovely old boat built in 1899 in Plymouth and now retired on Cotehele Quay. A major restoration project uncovered serious structural issues which need to be fixed to make her ship-shape again.

We're planning to develop a wildlife rich intertidal habitat in the field below the woodland path by Cotehele Quay.

Cotehele covers 1,300 acres of countryside, with woodland, meadows, riverside, industrial ruins and reed beds all providing a wide range of habitats for wildlife.

For 125 years, people like you have helped us protect some of the UK's best-loved places. Everyone needs nature, beauty and green spaces now more than ever. But our income has dropped sharply due to the coronavirus crisis, and our essential conservation work is at risk. Please give what you can to help us look after these places, so people and nature can thrive.

As we gradually and safely open more of the places we care for, there’ll be more opportunities to explore gardens and parklands near you. If you’re a member, you can access all these places free, together with most National Trust car parks. It’s so important for everyone to have fresh air, birdsong, big skies and open spaces to enjoy. Your membership will go towards looking after all of this for generations to come.
