Where history feels alive and the welcome is warm

Just a ten-minute drive from Wadebridge or Bodmin, Pencarrow House and Gardens offers a countryside escape with ample parking. Home to the Molesworth-St Aubyn family for nearly 500 years, this Georgian house sits within 50 acres of Grade II woodland and gardens, ideal for relaxed walks with family and dogs. Inside, discover elegant rooms, a library with a secret door, and collections of porcelain, antique furniture, and portraits. Outdoors, towering conifers, magnolias, camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons, and summer blue hydrangeas line the mile-long drive. Explore an ancient Celtic cross, a 2,000-year-old Iron Age hill fort, a Victorian lake and icehouse, a grotto, Italian gardens with a fountain, and a dramatic rock garden. The lively events programme includes an Abba tribute night, while the Peacock Café welcomes all for coffee, homemade cakes, cream teas, and light lunches using local produce. Open Sunday to Friday, 30th March  to 30th October 2026.
