Overbeck's
Overbeck's is a captivating Edwardian house perched dramatically above the Salcombe estuary in south Devon, its terraced gardens tumbling down to views across the water that are hard to equal. The collections inside are wonderfully eccentric — the result of Otto Overbeck's magpie curiosity — and the subtropical garden, warmed by the Gulf Stream, grows plants you would not expect to find in England. It feels like a private world, barely touched by time.
- Subtropical cliff-top garden

Best for garden lovers, curious minds, and anyone seduced by Devon's south coast.
