Prideaux Place
An Elizabethan manor on the hill behind Padstow, with a deer park and richly decorated rooms, and the setting for several TV dramas.
Prideaux Place was built in 1592 by the Prideaux family and is still lived in by the same family today. It sits on the hill behind Padstow and overlooks the Camel Estuary. Inside are an Elizabethan hall with ornate plasterwork ceilings, family portraits and antique porcelain. The grounds include an ancient deer park, a temple and an obelisk. It has been a filming location for several British TV dramas.
It opens only on certain days from Easter to October, and visits are guided. Entry costs about £15, so check the official website for the schedule before you go.
