Prideaux Place is a beautiful Grade 1 Elizabethan manor house overlooking Padstow. The house provides an engaging mix of different periods and places and includes a newly refurbished museum. Tours of the house are available from 1.30pm to 4pm and do not need to be booked.

In addition to the appeal of the house itself there is also a splendid garden with far reaching views and a deer park. The house is a much sought after film location and is regularly used for Rosamunde Pilcher films. It has also been the setting for Antiques Roadshow and Countryfile.

Autumn is a perfect time for a look at this historic house which is so much part of Padstow’s history.
