PRIDEAUX PLACE

HOUSE & GARDENS CLOSED FROM 9TH OCTOBER UNTIL MONDAY 29TH MARCH 2027

Prideaux Place is one of the very brightest jewels in Cornwall’s crown; one of the West Country’s oldest houses remaining in habitable condition. Fourteen generations of Prideaux have lived here and each generation has added its own contribution to the house and its historic garden. This beautiful mansion sits on the hill above the busy harbour of Padstow and the grounds boast some of the finest views over its ancient Deer Park and the Camel Estuary to Rock and Bodmin Moor beyond. The Prideaux Family can trace their ancestry back to the 11th Century when they were Lords of Prideaux Castle at Luxulyan.
