About this Event
Join us as Cat Richards discusses the Future Saltram project and how the house and estate can continue to play a pivotal role in supporting health, well-being, and education in Plymouth as the historic estate grows.
Cat Richards, who is a Project Coordinator with the National Trust at Saltram, will discuss how the Trust and partners through the Future Saltram project aims over the next decade to work to support well-being through connections with heritage and nature; opening up more free-to-use country park for people; creating habitats for wildlife; restoring historic landscape and parkland views; improving visitor facilities and offering better access and connections to Saltram for local communities.
Overlooking the River Plym, Saltram is set in a rolling landscape park on the outskirts of Plymouth. It was home to the Parker family from 1743, and the house is decorated with original Chinese wallpapers and a collection of paintings including works by Sir Joshua Reynolds. It also has a superb country house library and Robert Adam’s Neo-classical Saloon.
The garden is mostly 19th century, with a working 18th-century orangery and follies, tropical planting and specimen trees providing year-round interest.
