Lanhydrock House
Lanhydrock Bodmin PL30 5AD
Lanhydrock
House is one of Cornwall's grandest houses set in a glorious landscape of
gardens, parkland and woods overlooking the valley of the River Fowey.
The house dates back to the 17th Century including the magnificent Long Gallery with its extraordinary plaster ceiling depicting scenes from the Old Testament. Today a total of forty nine rooms are on view and together they reflect the entire spectrum of life in a rich and splendid Victorian household. You will want to allow plenty of time just for the tour of the house. Surrounding the house on all sides are gardens ranging from formal Victorian parterres to the wooded higher garden where magnificent displays of magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias climb the hillside to merge with the oak and beech woods all around. The park and woods, with a network of footpaths running through them provide a variety of walks and a leaflet is available to help you make the most of the estate which extends to nearly 1,000 acres.
