VARIOUS events are taking place at National Trust site Antony, near Torpoint, this summer.

There’s plenty to entice visitors out and about this summer with a number of events being held at National Trust sites around Cornwall.

What’s more, every time people experience a National Trust day out, they are helping to care for these special places for future generations.
