Cockington Court and its collection

Cockington Court
Source

Just a mile from Torquay seafront, historic Cockington Court is nestled within 460 acres of country park and is home to a growing number of skilled craftsmen – watch them as they work and perhaps indulge in a spot of retail therapy in their studios. Thanks to new funding, additional craft studios and a new gallery will be in place in the coming months. * Historic church (c1069) and manor house * Craft centre and demonstrations * Ornamental lakes, woodlands and formal gardens * Tea Rooms * Kids play area * Horse drawn carriage rides * Cockington Village (Doomsday Book)

The site offers a mix of historical architecture and contemporary craft studios, which many find interesting. The on-site cafe receives positive mentions for its refreshments and pleasant setting.
