Haven of peace and tranquility
The Rame Peninsula or ‘The Forgotten Corner’ as it is known locally is just across the border with Devon, in South East Cornwall.
Bordered on three sides by water, the Rivers Lynher, Tamar and Plymouth Sound, you will find here a haven of peace and tranquillity.
Visitors travelling by car approach the Peninsula by crossing the Tamar Bridge on the A38 or by going through the thriving city of Plymouth with its deep naval traditions and excellent shopping facilities and boarding the chain ferry to Torpoint.
Visitors on foot take the passenger ferry from Stonehouse in Plymouth to Cremyll or, in the summer, the ‘Western Maid’, a delightful boat trip from the Mayflower Steps on the
Barbican across the Sound landing on Cawsand Beach.
Once here you will find an area of great natural beauty, quiet secluded beaches, magnificent scenery and spectacular walks.
The coastal path starts at Cremyll winding its way through the 800 acre Mount Edgcumbe Park which according to the Shell Guide is probably the most beautiful in England.
The villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, twinned with Porspoder in France, are the perfect base for the discerning tourist or holiday maker.
These historical fishing villages are unspoilt by time and here you will find colour washed old cottages,
narrow streets, pubs, restaurants and shops catering for your every need.
Frequent winners of the ‘Best Kept Village’ award and a conservation area set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the villages are an artist's dream.
There is ample parking and many cottages to let, bed and breakfast houses and hotels in which to stay.
Used as a safe harbour for centuries, Cawsand Bay offers the perfect place to drop anchor and is popular for swimming, windsurfing,water skiing, camping and caravanning.
The Coastal Path takes us on at the edge of the sea and cliffs past Penlee Point and Rame Head with its 11th century monks' chapel and stunning views to the glorious sandy beaches of Whitsand Bay.
Inland the villages of Millbrook, St.
John, Sheviock and St. Germans are all well worth a visit, as is Antony House, the 18th century home of the great Cornish family of Carew with its gardens sloping down to the Lynher River, near Torpoint.
For the more active, sea angling is very popular and bass, wrasse, pollock or mackerel are readily caught from the rocks.
Bird watchers might see buzzards circling overhead, peregrines swooping past the cliffs or cormorants fishing.
Golf and horse riding are within easy reach and Looe and Polperro just a few miles away.
This is the ‘Forgotten Corner’, an oasis of calm away from the crowds and bustle. Whatever your interest you will find a visit or stay here a truly unforgettable experience.

2011 - an amazing year of family friendly fishing fun
As winter draws closer and it gets colder its nice to look back on the great years fishing tuition the Environment Agency organised.
We used venues covering most of Cornwall and taught over 200 people old and young the basics of fishing.
Although the Agency has no further fishing events planned this year that does not mean there is not a wealth of places that you can fish in the area, why not have a look at
www.gethooked.co.uk to see where your nearest venue is.
So why not try fishing? It’s a hobby that’s good for you and your family, and you’ll soon realise why it’s the most popular outdoor sport in the country.
A licence is required if you are over twelve years old, and you are fishing for freshwater fish (salmon, trout, and coarse fish).
A full year’s adult trout and coarse licence costs £27.00, but you can also buy a single day’s licence for only £3.75. Under 16s get a full year for only £5.00.
You can buy a rod licence on our web site,www.environment
agency.gov.uk / rodlicence or from any post office.
Our telephone sales line is 0844 800 5386, and it’s open every day from 8am until 8pm.
Not only is a rod licence a legal requirement, but we use the money to protect and improve fishing in England and Wales.
The good news is unlike most things the price of a rod licence will NOT be going up next year.
Don’t ignore it, report it !
On another note should you see any thing untoward for example pollution, poaching, fish in distress or illegal dumping of waste please give us a call on 0800 807060.
Or if you have a general enquiry call us on 08708 506506.
Have a nice stay!
