Coleton Fishacre is a 1920s property that includes a Arts and Crafts Movement house and 10 acres of gardens. It is located by the sea near Kingswear in the county of Devon, England. The property has been owned by the National Trust since 1982, which opened the garden to the public. The house was opened to visitors in 1999.
The garden of the property lies sloping between the house and the sea by a stream and ends at Pudcombe Cove. The garden was created by Lady Dorothy and today offers rare and exotic plants that can grow due to the mild Gulf Stream on this part of the Devon coast.

Coleton Fishacre house was built in the Arts and Crafts style between 1923 and 1926. The garden that sits in a steep valley holds an almost Mediterranean microclimate and as such the plants are exotic and stunning.
The National Trust has owned and managed the estate since 1982. They also have a few holiday cottages on the estate which allow easy access to the coast path and 24hour access to the Coleton Fishacre gardens.
This highlight marks the garden entrance to the estate from the South West Coast Path. The main entrance and car park is at the top of the hill. The gate is normally unlocked, but you need to be a NT member or go to the ticket office at the visitor centre and cafe at the main entrance to buy a ticket.
