Antony House
An 18th-century mansion in silver-grey stone on the western bank of the Tamar, known for its garden sculptures and clipped hedges, and for being a filming location for Alice in Wonderland.
Antony House was built by the Carew family in the 1720s, and the family still lives there today. The house displays family portraits and furniture. The gardens were designed by the landscape master Repton, with a hedge maze-like topiary garden, a Japanese pond, sculptures and riverside grassy slopes that are ideal for a stroll. In 2010, Tim Burton’s film Alice in Wonderland was filmed here. It is managed by the National Trust, opening days are limited, and admission is about £15. It is about 5 minutes’ drive from Plymouth after taking the Torpoint ferry.
