Prince William will be in the Duchy next week as part of his role as the Duke of Cornwall.

The duke, who is also the Prince of Wales, will be in Cornwall visiting Duchy College Stoke Climsland in Callington on Thursday.

Here he will be given a tour, to learn about how the college is providing opportunities for young people in rural areas.

The college specialises in running land-based degrees in the south west across a range of areas, including equine science, agriculture and horticulture.

The Duke will be visiting the Stoke Climsland campus, which is part of the Stoke Climsland Farm Cluster - a group of 23 farms, including several Duchy farms, which are working together to create environmental change.

The land for the college was originally leased by the Duchy of Cornwall to the then Cornwall County Council in 1984, as a new County Agricultural College, and the site has expanded over time with the latest addition being the Future Farm facility.

Kensington Palace said the Duchy of Cornwall had been a long-standing advocate for the college, with the Land Steward team taking part in the assessment of Year 2 Agriculture students, where the students run a mock farm tender exercise at a Duchy farm.

This experience has been described as an “invaluable” part of the course for students, as they delve into all aspects of how to run a farming business.

As well as being a hub for agricultural studies, the college also provides 86 courses across apprenticeships, degree programmes and adult courses.

Key courses at the Stoke Climsland campus include: Armed Forces and emergency services, business, community health, construction, veterinary nursing, and sports and fitness.

During his visit this Thursday, Prince William will first meet Duchy College staff and be shown a crime scene investigation training exercise by students enrolled in the Military and Protective Services Academy at the college.

The academy provides courses for those interested in a career in the blue light services and Armed Forces, allowing students to learn from experienced professionals in both sectors, helping students gain essential skills including physical fitness and mental resilience.

Following this, the duke will visit a student run café on campus and hear from students who are part of the Future Farm programme.

Before he leaves, William will meet with students on campus.
