Put spring into your step at Mount Edgcumbe
Make the most of your days this spring and try something new at Mount Edgcumbe.
The park is brimming with activity as the sheep frolic in the fields and ducks glide across the ponds and there’s plenty of other wildlife too just waiting for their moment in the spotlight. Why not come and see what animals and birds you can spot?
If wildlife isn’t quite to your taste, then spend a few hours exploring the formal gardens in the lower park where this year you will see an amazing giant insect sculpture exhibition by local father and son artists Gary and Thomas Thrussel. Working in steel, copper and stainless steel, they use the natural world as inspiration for their sculptures.

The unique features and design of the Segway® personal transporter make it an optimal outdoor activity experience. The Segway® personal transporter works on clever tilt and gyroscopic sensors which balances it’s rider on two wheels. The rider’s shift of
weight on the foot platform determines forward direction and speed.

You’ll see the stunning parkland, woodlands and listed monuments from a new perspective! Then you’ll be taken you high above the coastal waters for awe-inspiring views across Plymouth Sound.
