Tavistock Pond Cottage 7

This breathtakingly beautiful stretch of the River Tamar was chosen by Georgina, Duchess of Bedford, as the setting for a new retreat, Endsleigh House, (since recently it has become a discreet private hotel). Humphry Repton made one of his famous Red Books for the estate, and between 1810 and 1812 brought its surroundings to a perfection that stands even today as a complete example of that most imaginative and English taste in garden design, the Picturesque. This natural landscape was further embellished with buildings by Jeffrey Wyatville, two of which have made into Landmarks, both looking out over very different stretches of water.Pond Cottage, previously used by visiting fishermen.
