Rame Peninsula

Whitsand Bay Holiday Park has a unique location. Whilst only 10 minutes from the Torpoint Ferry and less than 30 minutes from Plymouth City centre the Rame Peninsula seems a world away! Hidden in the south eastern corner of Cornwall the holiday park enjoys stunning and contrasting views from the same spot. Breathtaking seaward views across the 4 mile sweep of coastline accompany spectacular countryside views across the Lynher and Tamar rivers.

We are the one and only park on the entire Rame Peninsula which guarantees a quality holiday venue without the crowds and noise and traffic you may encounter in other areas

Mount Edgcumbe Country Park offers Grade I Cornish gardens which are open to the public. There is also a fine Country house also open to the public Easter through the summer season. Originally built by Sir Richard Edgcumbe of Cotehele in 1547-53 it has undergone some restoration. The house is now beautifully furnished with family possessions, including paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gerard Edema and William van der Velde, Irish bronze age horns, 16th century tapestries and 18th century Chinese and Plymouth porcelain. The Earl's Garden was created beside the House in the 18th century. Ancient and rare trees including a 400 year old lime, a splendid Lucombe oak, and a Mexican pine are set amidst classical garden houses and an exotic Shell Seat. Colourful flowers and heather grace the re-created Victorian East Lawn Terrace, which has spectacular views over Plymouth Sound. www.plymouth.gov.uk/mountedgcumbe/
