The Rame Peninsula
The Rame Peninsula in Cornwall has become known as The Forgotten Corner of Cornwall as it is by-passed by many tourists heading for mid and west Cornwall.
It is an area of outstanding natural beauty with tidal creeks, sandy beaches, country parks, rolling fields and quaint villages.
These villages hide at the heads of creeks, waiting to be discovered, whilst the stretch of coast fronting onto Whitsand Bay offers fantastic views of the English Channel and walks along the South West Coastal Parth.
Sheltered by the headland are the twin villages of Cawsand and Kingsand. Once a popular haunt of smugglers, they are now popular places to visit with a wide variety of public houses, cafes and restaurants.
The Rame Peninsula also boasts a number of quality shops and galleries. A seasonal passenger ferry runs from Cawsand to Plymouth Barbican and the Cremyll ferry to Plymouth runs all year round. A frequent car ferry service provides a link to Devonport from Torpoint.
Rame Head, at the eastern end of Whitsand Bay, guards Plymouth Sound from the prevailing winds. It is crowned by the remains of a 14th Century chapel, dedicated to St Michael. Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park and Antony House are the Peninsula’s historic country estates and fine houses.
