From Mount Edgecumbe the noble owner of the estate takes his title.  It is indeed a beautiful spot, the hill-side facing the water covered with trees, and walks cut amid them.  From the hills at the north end we enjoyed beautiful views up the Hamoaze, and looked down into Mill Bay, and watched the fierce tide as the ebb made, rushing out of the Tamar, past the Devil's Point, having a good view also over the whole shore, thickly sprinkled with houses and fortifications.
