Antony sits on the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall, overlooking the estuaries of the River Lynher and the River Tamar, with broad views across to Plymouth. The parish is largely rural, with rolling farmland, patches of native woodland and easy access to coastal walking on the South West Coast Path and across to Rame Head.
Its focal point is the historic Antony House and gardens, now cared for by the National Trust and drawing visitors to its landscaped grounds and woodland walks. Local life is quiet and community-minded, buoyed by agriculture and small-scale tourism, while many residents commute across the water via Torpoint towards larger employment centres such as Plymouth. Historically the estate and its manor have shaped the feel of the parish, giving it a mix of genteel heritage and working countryside.
