Cornwall could be an attractive proposition for caravanners who like their movies, it has been suggested.
According to holiday site operator Parkdean, which runs 24 caravan sites around the country, the area has been used in a number of films over the years.
The most recent was Alice in Wonderland, which used Antony House in one of its opening scenes.
Described as "a perfect, pocket-sized mansion, something beautifully symmetrical, with intimate interiors, wide views and landscaped gardens", the site is just 30 minutes drive from Parkdean's Looe Bay Holiday Park.
Meanwhile, Holywell Bay Holiday Park is in close vicinity to where Pierce Brosnan had a famous car chase as James Bond in Die Another Day.
St Michael's Mount also featured in spy spoof Johnny English, which saw Rowan Atkinson play a bumbling secret agent.
The site was used as the setting for villain Pascal Sauvage's lair.
In other news, Parkdean recently suggested that St Michael's Mount is a great place to visit due to the legend of Cornish giant Cormoran, who supposedly created the tidal island.
