Port Eliot House & Gardens

The House is open weekdays to visitors for State Rooms and Servant Basement Tours, with the option to be hosted by a member of the Eliot family.

Garden and Parkland open every day, except during festivals, horse trials and fireworks night.

Port Eliot has been lived in for over 1000 years and believed to be the oldest continually inhabited dwelling in the UK and is full of the accumulated treasures of such a long history. The many varied rooms includes works by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Van Dyck as well as a vast mural by South West England’s most celebrated 20th century artist, Robert Lenkiewicz.

Port Eliot is incredibly proud of its 100 acre Repton landscaped gardens. These encompass a vast rhododendron garden, maze, bowling green, orangery, arboretum and magnificent view of the estuary – not to mention the majestic St Germans viaduct stretching over it.
