Mount Edgcumbe, visited by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Mount Edgcumbe, visited by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, 1865. 'Mount Edgcumbe [in Cornwall] is one of the most beautiful places on the coast of the British Channel...The grounds of Mount Edgcumbe have been laid out and cultivated as an extensive park or pleasure-garden, abounding with the myrtle, the arbutus, the laurustinus, and other ornamental shrubs, mixed with various forest trees, and relieved by lawns and slopes of exquisite verdure. The mansion of the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe is a castellated building of red sandstone, in the Tudor style of architecture, erected by his ancestor, Sir Richard Edgcumbe, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth; but the towers at each angle of the edifice were added in the last century...The conservatory, 100 ft. in length; the great terrace, commanding a magnificent view; and the three gardens, English, French, and Italian, decorated with beautiful fountains, vases, statues, and busts, contribute to make this residence one of the most attractive belonging to any of our nobility or gentry...On the present occasion the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe had the honour of entertaining the Prince and Princess of Wales for three successive days'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865
