The historic ‘Hoe’, the vast public space next to the water is a wonderful place to soak up the view across Plymouth Sound to Drake’s Island. More »

Antony
A magnificent 18th Century mansion house with Georgian gardens. Director Tim Burton chose Antony House as a key location for the filming of Alice in Wonderland (released March 2010). The National Trust have now created their own magical wonderland here, transforming the house, garden and estate into dreamlike scenes from Alice. Enter the giant rabbit hole to find yourself in a larger than life garden where you can join the Mad Hatter's tea party, pit your wits in a giant game of chess or enjoy a spot of croquet on the lawn.
