Outside The Fort
The Fort is set in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is on the UK's Heritage Coastline on the Rame Peninsula, an important bird migratory point and nature conservation area. Surrounding the Fort there are large gardens offering panoramic sea views over the dramatic coastline of Whitsand Bay.
The spectacular South Cornwall coastal footpath runs both ways from behind the Fort's grounds, and provides superb walks. The Fort (Grade II* Listed) and its grounds are surrounded by the further reaches of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, with its Grade I Listed Formal Gardens - reputedly the most beautiful Country Park in England.
The Fort has a large lawn, an all-weather tennis court and access to the beach at Polhawn Cove.
