Antony House located in Plymouth is owned by The National Trust and has seen visitor numbers practically triple since the launch of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. Not only do the locations benefit the films but the filming also helps out the local economy too with the crew, actors & actresses staying in hotels, eating out at restaurants etc.

In the last decade, National Trust locations have been used for over 50 feature films and are becoming the top choice for film directors. Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire was used as the setting for The Duchess and Lyme Park, Cheshire has been used for Pride & Prejudice. The recent remake of Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe has used Freshwater West and this location will also be used in the forthcoming Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows film that is due for release in November 2010.

The reason why the UK is top choice with film directors is because the country is blessed with so much history and the many historic buildings represent this & the best way to visit them is on UK coach holidays.
