Coleton Fishacre, Kingswear, UK
This unique garden features rare and exotic plants, some of which are unusual in their ability to grow outside a tropical climate due to the proximity of the Gulf Stream to this part of the coast of Devon. There are colorful borders, bonds, a large woodland area with some amazing coastal views.

Short walk from Kingswear to Coleton, Devon 4K UK Travel Video
Set opposite the town of Dartmouth, Kingswear is a charming character village that has some of the most beautiful views across the River Dart.
Set on the banks of the River Dart, Kingswear village is well worth a visit or a stay to take full advantage of the beautiful South Devon countryside.
The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway terminates here, allowing you take the unique passenger ferry across to Dartmouth - or vice versa. Kingswear castle sits squarely on the rocks perilously close to the sea, and Coleton Fishacre National Trust Property makes for a lovely day out.
Plenty of accommodation, shops, pubs and a slower pace of life than that over the water make Kingswear a great base for all types of holiday.
Coleton Fishacre, South Devon, UK.
Coleton Fishacre is a property consisting of a 24-acre garden and a house in the Arts and Crafts style, near Kingswear in Devon, England. The property has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1982. Travel back in time to the 1920's Jazz Era at the country home of the D'Oyly Carte family. You can lose yourself in the RHS accredited garden: viewpoints give enticing glimpses out to sea, paths weave through glades past tranquil ponds, and tender plants from the Mediterranean, South Africa and New Zealand thrive in the moist and sheltered valley.

COLETON FISHACRE - Family Fun Walks - National Trust Garden
COLETON FISHACRE - Family Fun Walks - National Trust Garden. Back in the heat of last Summer - we took a beautiful Family Walk around the picturesque and seemingly tropical gardens at the National Trusts Coleton Fishacre near Paignton. With some fantastic coastal views of the South West Coastline and some exotic plants and play areas for the kids, this was a terrific day out for the family.
Coleton Fishacre Why You Should Visit
Why You Should Visit Coleton Fishacre
If you could wander around the fantastic house house built in the arts and crafts style with an art nouveau interior built by the seriously rich man behind the Savoy Hotel and Gilbert and Sullivan operettas that would be great.
If it had an amazing setting with stunning sea views and world class awesome gardens then that would be fantastic
The great news is that you can wander around this place and soak up the atmosphere and I’ve made a movie to show you more.
We pick up the action from an aerial shot towards Coleton Fishacre.
Rupert and Lady Dorothy D’Oyly Carte first came upon the site of Coleton Fishacre when the yachting between Brixham and Dartmouth in 1923.
Rupert D’Oyly Carte’s father was the impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte. He had an exclusive business arrangement with Gilbert and Sullivan. This had lead to the formation of the famous opera company and the building of both the Savoy Theatre and the Savoy hotel all of which Rupert now managed. This meant that they were fabulously rich.
Coleton Fishacre was intended as a weekend retreat for husband and wife and their teenage children, Michael and Bridget.
The walls of shale stone quarried on the estate together with the Cornish slate roof do give a sense of tranquillity to the house. The exterior is arts and crafts, old fashioned even as it was built.
Let us take a wander inside.
The house designed as a weekend retreat rapidly became a residence. A country house rather than the seaside holiday home. The exterior may have been arts and crafts but the interior was art nouveau with all mod cons.
It was big enough to accommodate an indoor staff of 4, a Butler, housekeeper, housemaid and cook as well as a chauffeur and six gardeners.
Soon after the house was finished lady Dorothy lived there permanently while her husband lived in London and came down on Friday evenings.
They spent the time yachting and gardening.
By the 1930s the gardens at Coleton were well enough established to be opened to the public.
The family swam in the sea or in the concrete tidal pool built down in the Cove. They entertained friends in the world the arts. There were bridge parties and concerts, in fact everything except happiness.
Bridget married in 1926 her cousin but the marriage was not a success and she divorced in 1931 and readopted her maiden name.
Michael, the son, had gained his fathers love of motoring. Unfortunately he was killed in a motor accident in 1932 in Switzerland whilst learning how to manage the family business.
His parent’s marriage didn't long survive his death. They separated in 1936 and Rupert divorced lady Dorothy on the grounds of her adultery five years later.
To complete the story Bridget took over the family business and interests when her father died in 1948. She then gave Coleton Fishacre to the National Trust.
She ran the empire successfully as the Savoy Group with a general manager carrying out the day to day management.
When she eventually died in 1985 it was the end of the family of the Doyly Cartes
So now let’s meander through the garden.
We’ll start with the terraces that surround the house. They are built of dry stone walls with rich interplanting. The purples are so vibrant that they grab the eye with marvel.
Then we’ll go into the amazing rill garden with its sumptuous planting. The rill itself brings the sound of splashing water and with its honey coloured stone brings a centre piece to drool over.
I could linger for longer but we move on following the water course downward with its lush bog planting on either side.
We come to a small pond with the massive leaves of the gunnera reflecting in the water.
Eventually we arrive at the viewpoints with their panoramic view over the open sea.
The beauty of the garden is beyond compare. So now we know how to make a perfect garden – start with unlimited funds, a stunning location and work continuously on it for a century or so.
Thanks for watching.
Part of a series of videos I make because I can. Enjoy
Coleton Fishacre. The Garden By The Sea.
This DVD invites you on a tour of an extraordinary place - a house and garden of the 1920s, hidden in a fold of the spectacular South Devon Landscape. Both the building and its garden setting are full of unexpected treasures.
Coleton Fishacre was created by Rupert and Lady Dorothy D'Oyly Carte, whose business involvements included the Savoy Hotel and Claridge's, as well as the opera company associated with Gilbert and Sullivan. To escape the hectic pace of London, they built the handsome Arts and Crafts-style house, which blends effortlessly into its setting.
Keen plantspeople, the D'Oyly Cartes also created the luxuriant garden in the stream fed valley. They introduced an astonishing variety of rare and exotic plants from around the world, the result is a colourful and exciting garden providing year round interest - a place for exploration and discovery.
