I love visiting National Trust properties whilst in south-west England and my short visit saw a quick trip from Plymouth to Trerice Manor at Kestle Mill near Newquay in Cornwall. Unlike Arlington reported earlier, this property was an elegant Elizabethan house constructed in the mid-16th century, though a previous building on the site was mentioned in the Doomsday book.
Alas Trerice had been allowed to fall into disrepair by absentee owners over a long period of time and the NT acquired the property both empty and desperately needing TLC. This is still in train and only part of the house is accessible by visitors. The rooms that are open for inspection contain furnishings donated or lent by others. Still, it was a pleasant place to visit and savour its history.
