Antony

This property is located in the small rural village of Antony just outside of Torpoint in the county of Cornwall. Antony House and estate is the main attraction in the area as the house is a Grade I listed building. The house overlooks the River Lynher. It was built for Sir William Carew, 5th Baronet between 1718 and 1724, and ever since has continued as the primary residence of the Carew family, who have owned the estate since the mid-16th century. Sir John Carew Pole gave the house and formal gardens into the care of the National Trust in 1961, on the understanding that the family could continue to reside there. The house and gardens are open to the public between March and October.
The grounds were landscaped by Georgian garden designer Humphry Repton and include the formal garden with the "National Collection of Day Lilies".
Filming for the 2010 Disney film production of Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton, took place in the grounds of Antony House in September 2008. The estate was also used as a location for a Rosamunde Pilcher TV movie by German company ZDF with director Dieter Kehler.

Torpoint

Torpoint, or as it is known in Cornish Penntorr, is a town and civil parish on the Rame Peninsula in southeast Cornwall, England. It is situated opposite the city of Plymouth across the Hamoaze which is the tidal estuary of the River Tamar. Torpoint had a population of around 8,500 and has two electoral wards also Torpoint East and Torpoint West. Torpoint is linked to Plymouth (and Devonport) by the Torpoint Ferry. The three vessels that operate the service are chain ferries – that is, they are propelled across the river by pulling themselves on fixed chains which lie across the bed of the river. The journey takes about seven minutes however there is normally a waiting time of approximately 20 minutes to board the ferry. It is said that Torpoint's name is derived from Tar Point, a name given because of the initial industry on the west bank of the Hamoaze. However, this is actually a nickname given by workers, Torpoint meaning "rocky headland". Torpoint is an eighteenth-century planned town. The grid-based design for the town was commissioned by Reginald Pole Carew in the Parish of Antony in 1774. His family continue to have a strong influence in the area, having become the Carew Poles in the twentieth century, and still reside at their family seat, Antony House.
Due to the presence of Devonport Dockyard, the town grew as Dockyard workers settled there. The establishment of the Royal Navy's main training facility, HMS Raleigh also increased the population of Torpoint. Educational institutions in Torpoint include Torpoint Infant School — a medium-large infant school, Carbeile Junior School — a large primary school and Torpoint Community College, a small secondary school. Sport and leisure, Torpoint has a non-league football club, Torpoint Athletic F.C., which plays at The Mill. Torpoint is twinned with Benodet (Benoded) in Brittany, France.
