Join me on an early morning walk, as we we descend the steep cliff path down to Tregonhawke beach, Whitsand Bay, South East Cornwall

Before anyone stirs, we quietly pass by the small, wooden, cliff top chalets, winding our way through the gorse and heather-lined path to reach the top of the steep steps, from where we can admire the vast expanse of blue sea stretched out before us and peer down to roofs of the lifeguard station and the empty Eddystone beach cafe and holiday let.

We catch our first glimpse of the sun hitting the small stretch of sand at Tregonhawke beach. The tide is in and we can can hear the waves below.

Once on the beach, we find a sturdy rock to sit on by the waters edge, and look out to see what we can see. We are the first there so have it all to ourselves, along with the wildlife.

Join me for a calming walk, along the banks of the River Tamar in Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, South East Cornwall.

Looking out across the salty tidal waters that divide the counties of Devon and Cornwall, to view Mutton cove, Mount wise, The Royal William Yard (Plymouth) and Drakes Island.

We can explore the shoreline, hidden slipway and vaulted garden battery; then walk across the gravel path to the picnic lawn and shingle/pebble cove at barn pool, where we can try our hand at skimming stones across the clement waters.

Walk alongside me, as we take a peaceful stroll from the orangery, passing by the mermaid fountain in the Italian garden, and up through the many layers of gardens, plants, birdsong, and hedged archways. Smell the lemony scents drifting through the Rose garden and feel calm as we walk down through the ferns, to the gently lapping barn pool beach.

Mount Edgcumbe Country Park and Estate is a free park to be enjoyed by all, on the banks of the river Tamar (opposite Plymouth Devon) along the remote coastline of the Rame Peninsula, in South East Cornwall.

The Original House was built nearly 100 years before the Mayflower set sail in 1620 and was the former home of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. It's 865 acres offers something for everyone: from Follies to mystical woodlands; secret beaches; cycling trails, gentle paths discovering camelias, artwork; a historic House, gardens and workshops; even survival wisdom and adventure activities. There is so much for us to explore!

You can arrive by boat, bus, car or by foot, even via the South West Coastal Path. But why not travel their with me and come for a wander through its peaceful gardens - as amazingly we have it all to ourselves.
