Mount Edgcumbe Country Park and gardens are jointly managed by Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council. Although the park covers a large area, the park has limited formal maintenance. This gives it a rough and ready rural feel in all except the Formal Gardens. The park is well endowed with interesting features, many of which are Grade II or Grade II* listed. Several larvae of the beautiful pearl ("Agrotera nemoralis"), were found by members of the Cornish branch of Butterfly Conservation on European hornbeam ("Carpinus betulus") during August 2013. The micro-moth was previously only known (in Britain) from East Blean Woods, Kent. Mount Edgcumbe
