The whole site was rebuilt by French Benedictines, exiled from France during the Third Republic.

Today we visit the forgotten corner of Cornwall, Mount Edgcumbe. This is a place of ancient barrows, mystical woodland, forts and chapels dotted along a remote coastline, above secret beaches and smugglers coves.
We explore Mount Edgcumbe House; the former home of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. Decorated in a classical style and home to some of the treasures collected by the family over the centuries, the house is a haven of calm for you to explore the past.
Built nearly 100 years before the Mayflower set sail in 1620, the Tudor style mansion stands at the top of an equally ancient double avenue of trees.
