Celebrating 100 years of Coleton Fishacre: In 1924, whilst sailing the South Devon coastline, Rupert and his wife Lady Dorothy glimpsed a secluded valley that led down to a private cove, and fell in love. It was the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of London life, and in 1925 construction on their country retreat began. The rest, as they say, is history.
