Mount Edgecombe Park

We were looking after Oscar today and as it was a lovely sunny day we decided to take the boat to Mount Edgecombe Park.  It is just a 10 minute ferry ride from Admiral Hard to Cremyll and you get a good view of luxury yachts and apartments at the water's edge as you chug past.



We walked from Cremyll through the formal gardens, past the Orangery, and along the South West coast path.  The views were spectacular and we watched boats sail past and looked across to Plymouth Hoe and out to the Sound.

We came to the blockhouse, which was like a small house to Oscar with two doorways and two holes for windows.  He loved playing in it, looking through the window holes and running in and out and around.

Further along the path in the ampitheatre there was a pond where we fed the ducks.

It was then back to the slipway to catch the ferry back to Plymouth.  But we will be back - soon when the daffodils and camelias are out, and in the summer when Oscar can play on the beach and in rock pools.
