HOME OF THE MONTH

PORT ELIOT in Cornwall Britain’s

oldest inhabited building is a quirky

delight of a stately home: a place where

surfboards and wellington boots happily

coexist with rare Van Dycks and other

priceless heirlooms. Each July the

worlds of literature and music descend

on the house to take part in the annual

Port Eliot Festival
