Saltram
Saltram House
A Georgian mansion east of the city, with interiors designed by Robert Adam and a collection of Reynolds portraits. It was a filming location for the film Sense and Sensibility.
Saltram was the home of the Parker family. The interiors preserve their 18th-century appearance, and highlights include the Great Drawing Room designed by Robert Adam, a room with Chinese-style wallpaper, and several portraits by Joshua Reynolds. The grounds are an extensive landscape garden where you can walk or cycle along the River Plym. The estate also has an orangery and a Gothic temple. It is managed by the National Trust. Admission to the house is about £17, while the gardens can be entered on foot for free. It is about a 15-minute drive from the city centre.
