Celebrating 100 years of Coleton Fishacre

The once bare coastal valley was transformed into the Arts
and Crafts retreat you see today, under the creative gaze of architect Oswald
Milne and it owners Rupert D’Oyly Carte and his wife Lady Dorothy. The family
even documented the build from start to finish with their own camera, from the
first trenches dug and foundations laid to completing the roof and landscaping
the terraces.

To celebrate the centenary, we’re showcasing the family’s
private photo album in a pop-up exhibition this year, with archive images not
seen before, alongside walks, talks, weekly cocktail hours and more. Why not join in the fun and help us celebrate: https://bit.ly/100YearsOfColeton
