Tholiday cottage cornwall the Rame Peninsula or
"The Forgotten Corner" as it is known locally is just across
the border with Devon, in South East Cornwall. A haven of peace and
tranquillity, bordered on three sides by the waters of the Rivers
Lynher, Tamar and Plymouth Sound. Here
you will find a wide range of cottages, hotels, bed and breakfast, camping and
caravan accommodation, as well as lodgings in local houses and pubs.
There are plenty of places for eating out, from local cafes and
restaurants to traditional inns.
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.
Tthe 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 cottages 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.
Tthis is the
"Forgotten Corner", an
oasis of calm in Cornwall away from the crowds and bustle. Whatever your interest you
will find a visit or stay here a truly unforgettable experience. Click on places to stay
