Cawsand

Cawsand and neighbouring Kingsand are twin fishing villages on the Rame Peninsula in southeast Cornwall, facing east across Plymouth Sound. The villages are connected by narrow, largely car-free lanes lined with pastel-coloured cottages - the old county boundary between Cornwall and Devon once ran between the two settlements, marked by a plaque on one of the houses.

Cawsand has a sheltered sandy beach that faces east, giving it calm water and afternoon sun. The Rame Peninsula coast path runs along dramatic cliffs with views to Plymouth, the Eddystone lighthouse, and across to the Devon coast. Rame Head, the southernmost point of the peninsula, has a medieval chapel on its summit and is a 2-mile walk from the village. The Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, 800 acres of formal gardens and deer park, is accessible on foot along the coast path.
