The Duke of Cornwall visits Duchy College

The Duke of Cornwall visited Duchy College Stoke Climsland in Callington, Cornwall, to learn about how the college provides opportunities for young people in rural areas.

The college specialises in running land-based degrees in Southwest England, across a range of areas including equine science, agriculture and horticulture. It is part of the Stoke Climsland Farm Cluster, comprising 23 farms - including several Duchy farms which are working together to create environmental change. 

The campus is also home to a student-run cafe and has expanded over time to now include a Future Farm facility which aims to improve efficiency, welfare and technological advancement in dairy farming.

The Duke met staff and students on campus, and engaged in a CSI training exercise by students who are enrolled in the Military & Protective Services Academy at the college.
