National Trust Saltram

APRIL/MAY 25 – There is temporarily a second Tramper available to hire at Saltram while final arrangements are being made for it to be placed at its allocated hire location (which will be a new location in Gloucestershire).

Still a largely undiscovered treasure, and the result of centuries of sophistication and extravagance, Saltram is the perfect family day out; close to Plymouth and yet in a world of its own.

Home to the Parker family for nearly 300 years, the house with its original contents provides a fascinating insight into country-estate life throughout the centuries. Fine Robert Adam interiors and beautiful collections bring the ‘age of elegance’ to life at Saltram.

Learn about some of the fascinating characters and family stories, including the correspondence between Frances, the first Countess, and Jane Austen.

A Tramper can be hired from the National Trust shop to explore paths around the estate and the formal gardens. The main Tramper routes are mainly level with gentle slopes. Some optional routes can be bumpy and muddy in places. The routes will be explained to you when you hire the Tramper.

Entrance fee (for visitors who are not National Trust members) applies only to formal gardens (and house) but there is no entrance fee if you are using the Tramper exclusively to explore the wider Estate. Car parking is £3.00 for visitors who are not NT members. (Check the National Trust Saltram website for up to date figures).  

There is no hire fee to pay although a donation of £2.50 is welcomed to help support this service and other improvements to accessibility.
