Walk 6 - Antony House

We met outside devon and cornwall refugee support (DCRS). We caught the 81a bus to Antony House. Antony House is in Cornwall and you have get the Torpoint car ferry to get there.

 

We walked from the bus stop (Great Park) to Antony House. The path took us along a tree lined lane. At Antony House we were met by Brian. He works for the National Trust and was our guide for the day.

 

The house was very grand and is 300 years old. The gardens were lovely. We walked through formal gardens onto a woodland garden. Brian showed us many interesting trees and plants...from a Gingko Bilabo (good for the mind) to a giant Redwood. We tasted wild garlic.

 

We had lunch in the education centre before leaving to catch the bus back to Plymouth.

 

A big thank you to Brian and Antony House for making this walk really interesting and enjoyable.
