It has a wonderful position on the banks of the River Dart with breathtaking views and glimpses of the Dart estuary.
Visitors can follow an interesting route around the garden, including the boathouse and battery on the banks of the river. A series of special events take place throughout the season - please telephone for details or check the National Trust website www.nationaltrust.org.uk/devoncornwall.
