Kingsand and Cawsand
Kingsand and Cawsand are twin fishing villages in the heart of the Rame Peninsula, a glorious tucked away spot in the corner of South East Cornwall. Just over the border from Devon, Kingsand and Cawsand enjoy a calm and tranquil location surrounded by woodland on one side and water on three sides.
Kingsand and Cawsand used to mark the border between Devon and Cornwall, and there is still a house called Dev Corn in the village. Renowned for their smuggling past, Kingsand and Cawsand also played host to more upstanding visitors, such as Nelson.
