Lanhydrock

“Upstairs Downstairs” brought to life

Lanhydrock is one of Cornwall’s grandest houses set in a glorious landscape of gardens, parkland and woods overlooking the valley of the river Fowey. The house dates back to the seventeenth century but much of it had to be rebuilt after a disastrous fire in 1881 destroyed all but the entrance porch and the north wing, which includes the magnificent Long Gallery with its extraordinary plaster ceiling depicting scenes from the Old Testament.
