About Boconnoc

The essence of a late 18th Century English picturesque landscape, Boconnoc remains one of Cornwall’s best kept secrets. Bought with the famous Pitt Diamond in 1717 and home to three Prime Ministers, the Estate’s unique combination of history, architecture, park and gardens create ideal film locations for Rosamund Pilcher’s novels, Poldark and The Three Musketeers. King Charles I and the architect, Sir John Soane played an influential part in Boconnoc’s history.

Bathhouse built in 1804, obelisk built in 1771, house dating from Domesday, deer park and C15 church.
