A hidden paradise of subtropical gardens and quirky collections
Tucked away on the cliffs above Salcombe is this hidden paradise: a subtropical garden, bursting with colour, filled with exotic and rare plants and surprises round every corner, which surrounds the seaside home of scientist and inventor Otto Overbeck. The views from the garden over the estuary and coast are truly breathtaking. Inside, among Otto’s eclectic collections — glimpses of a bygone age — are his ‘Rejuvenator’, once believed to cure all ills, and the melodious giant music box called a polyphon (you can choose a disc to play).
