Cornwall England Tourist Attractions and tourist information.
Home to the Prideaux family for the past 400 years with grand views of the Camel estuary and the moors beyond. It is emerging as an international film location with an exhibition of it's filming excellence. The moment you arrive at Prideaux Place you realise you are somewhere very special indeed. The licensed marriage rooms in this 400 year old Elizabethan house are a living history and you could be forgiven for thinking you have entered a different age. The house landscaped grounds and formal garden offer a tranquil and unique setting. The house is filled with treasures, including royal and family portraits, fine furniture and the Prideaux Porcelain Collection. The recently uncovered ceiling in the Great Chamber is a masterpiece of the Elizabethan plasterers art.
