At the Quay old buildings house the Edgcumbe Arms tea-room. The restored Tamar sailing barge Shamrock is moored alongside. The Quay Museum tells Shamrock’s history, of trade on the river, shipbuilding, mining, quarrying in the Tamar Valley.
The estate has many miles of footpaths as well as both riverside and woodland walks. There is a working watermill and industrial ruins in the Danescombe Valley
