Cornwall has a long history and reflects in some stunning heritage including many stately homes, manor houses and castles.

Trerice Manor

Many are either owned or administered by the National Trust or English Heritage. The nearest to Newquay is Trerice Manor which has been owned by the National Trust since 1953. This Elizabethan Manor House has fine interiors and lavish gardens and is only about 4 miles (6km) away from Newquay.

Trenance Heritage Cottages 

Heritage in Newquay is not only about the large, grand, properties. Recently the Trenance Heritage Cottages situated in Newquay’s Trenance gardens were restored and now contain a fascinating little museum and a traditional tea room – Cornish Cream Tea anyone? These late 1800’s workers terraced cottages give an insight to life over 100 years ago and in some cases were the homes of those who built the lake and gardens themselves.

Cornwall Stately Homes and Manors 

Newquay is an ideal base to explore Cornwall and other Cornish stately homes and manors.

There are many National Trust properties to visit in Cornwall such as Lanhydrock House, Trelissick House Gardens and Glendurgan which are all within driving distance from Newquay.
