About Pencarrow House and Gardens

A handsome Georgian country house still owned and lived in by the Molesworth-St Aubyn family who built it in the 1760s. The house's greatest treasure may be the mile-long approach through ancient rhododendrons and pre-Roman earthworks, but the house itself — with its fine furniture and portraits — and the restored Victorian gardens are equally rewarding.
