Former Great Western Railway ‘Castle’ class 5043 ‘Earl of Mount Edgcumbe’ passes Padley Wood in June 2012. The locomotive was originally named Barbury Castle, after an Iron Age hill fort in Wiltshire, but was renamed in September 1937. The historic Edgcumbe family seat is Mount Edgcumbe House near Plymouth, part of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park in Cornwall just across the River Tamar. See the website Mount Edgcumbe for more information.
