Kingsand & Cawsand Cornwall

Kingsand and Cawsand are 17th Century Cornish fishing villages. They comprise of coloured sandstone cottages, a maze of small lanes, a few small shops and some excellent pubs, restaurants and bistros.

Fortifications from Tudor to Napoleonic times guard the sea approaches. There are also the remains of 97 other fortifications around Plymouth Sound. It is safe to swim off the village beaches - Sailing; windsurfing, water-skiing and fishing are also available.

There are also a wealth of places to eat in the area and our own village pub is only two minutes away where you will be made most welcome.Just in case you need to venture back into the 21st century during the summer a passenger ferry operates between the village and the historic Mayflower Steps at the Barbican in Plymouth.

It is worthy to note that the scenery in the area is spectacular and 'both Cliff House and the two Cottages' are situated only a mile from the longest sandy beach in England it being Whitsand Bay. Local leisure facilities include golf, swimming, walking and snoozing.

Walks which include the Southwest Coastal Path are generally more than enough for even keenest of walkers - and do you know, here there always seems to be a pub at the end of the trail!
