One of the most fascinating late 19th-century houses in England, full of period atmosphere and the trappings of a high Victorian country house.
The approach to Lanhydrock House involves a good walk which can be avoided by using the National Trust Buggy, or else paying for a ride in a classic car.
The Gatehouse at Lanhydrock is the most complete part of the original house built here by Richard, Lord Robartes and then his son John between 1636-51. It is a two-storey granite building with somewhat old-fashioned for the time Renaissance decoration.
