Cotehele Quay, River Tamar, Cornwall

Cotehele Quay is one of several alongside the River Tamar in the east of Cornwall, and in its heyday enabled a variety of products to be loaded and sailed down the river to Plymouth and other ports. Nowadays the quay features several old buildings which include a former warehouse that is now a museum, a Georgian former inn which is now a teashop, and several old lime kilns. This rather more modern boat also seems to have found a home here.

 

The quay is the gateway to the Cotehele Estate. While this side of the river is in Cornwall on the other side is Devon's Bere Peninsula. Both the Grade II-listed quay and the estate are owned by the National Trust.
