Mount Edgcumbe Country Park is listed as Class I in the National Register of Parks and Historic Parks and is one of four designated state parks in Cornwall, England, England. 885 acre (3.58 km 2 ) the state park is on the Rame Peninsula, overlooking Plymouth Sound and the Tamar River. The park has been famous since the 18th century, when the Edgcumbe family created a formal garden, temple, stupid and forest around Tudor's home. The specimen trees, such as the Sequoiadendron giganteum, stand behind the trees protecting wild herds of deer. The South West Coast Path passes the park nine miles (14 km) along the coastline.
The park also contains the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, as well as Mount Edgcumbe House itself. Formal gardens are grouped in the lower garden near Cremyll. Originally the 'desert' garden of the 17th century, this scheme was laid out by the Edgcumbe family in the 18th century. The Formal Gardens include Orangery, Italian Garden, French Garden, English Garden and Jubilee Park, which opened in 2002, to celebrate the Golden Queen of Jubilee. Formal Park and Park is open all year round and admission is free. The gardens and gardens are managed jointly by the Cornwall Board and Plymouth City Council. Although the park covers a large area, the park has limited formal care. It gives a rustic and ready rustic feel in all but the Formal Garden.
