Saltram, [122], the seat of Lord Boringdon. This mansion is said to be the largest in the county, covering an area 135 feet by 170. The principal suit of apartments is on the ground floor, which are elegantly fitted up, and adorned with an extensive and valuable collection of pictures; the upper apartments are also embellished with a number of fine drawings, by the most celebrated ancient masters, and many good portraits.
The grounds possess many singular attractions: an extensive diversity of landscape and massy wood, Plymouth Sound, the Town, Citadel, Mount Edgecumbe, the Sea, and Harbour, with its endless variety of amusement. The internal beauties of Saltram are also extremely numerous: a bold irregularity of surface characterises the grounds, and renders the variety unceasing. Myrtles are here seen flourishing all the year in the open air, and oranges and lemons are brought to maturity, and produce ripe and perfect fruit.
