Saltram House, House museum and historic estate in Plymouth, England
Saltram House stands as a Georgian mansion with formal gardens, spanning 500 acres of diverse landscapes including farmland, woodland, and salt marshes along the River Plym.
The Parker family acquired Saltram House in 1743, transforming it into a refined residence with designs by architect Robert Adam, who incorporated neoclassical elements into its structure.
The interior contains a collection of original Chinese wallpapers and paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds, representing the decorative tastes of 18th-century English nobility.
Visitors can explore the mansion from March to November, with opening hours from 10:00 to 17:00 on Monday and Tuesday, and 10:00 to 16:00 from Wednesday to Sunday.
The estate maintains an 18th-century orangery and features multiple follies across its grounds, including an amphitheater constructed during the Georgian period.
