'Paradise' National Trust site with tropical gardens and spectacular sea views Coleton Fishacre, a National Trust property nestled in the Devon countryside, might not be your first thought for a day trip.
Work on their new country home began in 1925, and by 1926, Lady Dorothy and Rupert D'Oyly Carte had moved into Coleton Fishacre, reports Devon Live.
Despite being a relatively recent addition, built in the 1920s as a country retreat, it's not the house that steals the show but the breath-taking tropical gardens with sea views that are simply paradise.
Located in a valley near Kingswear and along the South West Coast Path, Coleton Fishacre is a true gem in the National Trust's collection.
Rupert, the son of Richard D'Oyly Carte - the genius behind Gilbert and Sullivan and the Savoy Hotel, took over as Chairman of the Savoy Hotel Company in 1903 after his father.
