Saltram House

A remarkable George II mansion whose landscaped park overlooks the Plym estuary, Robert Adam worked here on two occasions to create the magnificent state rooms. There are gorgeous Adam ceilings throughout, and three rooms have exquisite hand painted Chinese wallpaper. The original contents also include Chippendale furniture, Wedgwood ceramics and many portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Angelica Kaufman. A very popular feature is the Great Kitchen, where authentic 18th-century banquets are sometimes prepared. Saltram is often seen on film and TV and was Norland Park in the film Sense & Sensibility. A spectacular Jazz Picnic is held here every summer.
