Mount Edgcumbe House was built in the mid 1500's and this country park was the estate and gardens. The estate was sold to the Plymouth City Council in 1988 and has been open to the public ever since.

While walking here you will see the landscaped parkland of a country house, views across the Plymouth Sound to the naval base and breakwater, a Bronze Age burial mound, the 15th century church and several military installations designed to defend the important port.
