Saltram is a house full of treasures, stories & intrigue. Saltram was home to the Parker family from 1743, when an earlier mansion was remodelled to reflect the family’s increasingly prominent position. It's magnificently decorated, with original contents including Chinese wallpapers and an exceptional collection of paintings . 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, beautiful shrubberies and imposing specimen trees providing year-round interest.
Saltram is home to the Lime Avenue, a quarter-of-a-mile-long lime avenue. It's believed to be the longest of its type in Europe.
