Trerice
About
Trerice is a stunning Elizabethan manor house set within a beautifully tended garden, located just a few miles east of Newquay on the Cornish coast. Built in the 1570s by the Arundell family and now cared for by the National Trust, the house showcases a wealth of historic interiors, from elaborate plasterwork ceilings to a rule‑age table fashioned from local oak. The property is surrounded by an elegant knot garden, the “kayling lawn” and orchard of apple trees – perfect for leisurely strolls and the family’s yellow‑flag sign that clues the history of the estate. Inside, visitors can explore the Great Hall, the timber‑paneled kitchen, and enjoy a stop at the Barn Café for light refreshments, while a second‑hand bookshop and gift shop offer souvenirs and local produce. With daily talks and remaining seasonal opening, Trerice provides an intimate and tranquil escape into the past for all ages.
