The Rame Peninsula is generally known as Cornwall's Forgotten Corner. It provides the kind of relaxed peace and quiet we all look for at times when we just want to get away from it all and relax.

Kingsand & Cawsand have combined over time into one village that still retains the individual Cornish charms associated with both. The locals are friendly and helpful and usually stop to assist you when you may need a hand.

Both villages have been frequent winners of the “Best Kept Village Award” and are an artists dream when it comes to atmospheric locations. This is mainly due to the colour washed cottages, pubs, shops and narrow streets and the fact that the area is a conservation area of outstanding natural beauty.

The southern coastal path starts at Cremyll and winds is way through Mount Edgcumbe Park into and out of the villages then on towards Rame Head then round into Whitsands Bay. The path eventualy finds its way all the way down to Lands End. Many attractions can found; like the 11th century Monks Chaple on Rame Head and the beautiful views across Whitsands Bay. The path also provides a good place for bird watchers to see many different birds from buzzards and peregrine falcons to coastal feeding migratory visitors as well as our own common gulls and resident birds. You may also catch sight of the rare hummingbird moth around the village feeding from hanging baskets and wild flowers.

Kingand and Cawsand are a good base for holiday makers and those wanting a quiet few days away to enjoy the delights of Cornwall. The beaches of Kingsand and Cawsand are a safe place to swim, sail and generaly relax. Not far away we have the Eden Project which changes all the time. Regular visitors will always find something new to marvel at when they take a trip down into the domes. Those who prefer the delights of shopping may want to take the little ferry from Cawsand beach to Plymouth`s Mayflower steps. Here you will also find the Sea Life Aquarium Centre (great fun for kids and adults alike) or the Glass Blowing Centre on the dockside.
