The adjoining smuggling villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are tucked away on the scenic Rame Peninsula, far from the main tourist route yet within easy reach of Plymouth, at least by ferry from neighbouring Cremyll. Their main charm is the pastel-painted fishing cottages which run up and down narrow alleys with steep steps. These twin villages are frequent winners of the Best Kept Village in Cornwall Award and are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Browse the small shops and local businesses that are squeezed together with barely room for cars. Art galleries draw discerning browsers to the area which is an inspiration for painters and photographers. The natural sheltered waters of Cawsand Bay, once the haunt of smugglers and pilchard fishermen, is now popular for gig racing, windsurfing, sailing, swimming, sea fishing and water skiing. The coastal path rambles over the headland to Penlee Point and Rame Head, topped with an 11th century monastery chapel.
Those wanting a taste of real Cornwall will find a holiday cottage in these charming villages automatically makes them part of the local community. Golf and horse riding are within easy reach, along with Mount Edgcombe Country Park and the National Trust owned Antony House.
