Around and About in Kingsand, Cawsand & the Rame Peninsula

Kingsand, alongside its sister village Cawsand, is a small Cornish fishing village on the coast of the Rame Peninsula.

Around the village, there is a General Store, Post Office, Gallery, and five pubs/restaurants offering a wide side variety of good food- including fresh, local seafood.

The Cornish Coastal Path passes through the village close to the property, and offers superb walking with wonderful sea views. To the north, the path makes its way through the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park to Cremyll. The views towards Plymouth and then on to Dartmoor are stunning. To the south, the path goes around the Rame Peninsula through woods to Penlee Point, and then on to Rame Head itself, where there are views out over Whitsand Bay, the Eddystone Lighthouse, and the English Channel beyond.

Plymouth Sound is renowned for all types of sailing and boating; a passenger ferry operates from nearby Cawsand Beach during the Summer months, and lands directly in the famous and historic Barbican area of Plymouth. The recently enlarged National Marine Aquarium, the Plymouth Dome and Smeatons Tower are only a few minutes walk from the jetty where the ferry lands.

The Rame Peninsula is ideal for water sports, with swimming from safe, clean beaches. Sailing and boating are popular in Cawsand Bay.and there is excellent fishing from the local rocks or from boats in the Bay. Golf courses are to be found a short distance away.

Kingsand is ideally placed for those wishing to explore further into Cornwall. Attractions such as the Eden Project, the National Trust properties and gardens of Cotehole, Anthony and Lanhydrock, and the recently opened National Maritime Museum at Falmouth are within easy reach by car.
