LOCATION

The twin villages of and Cawsand were, until 1844, in different counties. Both are renowned for their notorious history as centres of smuggling in the 17th and 18th Centuries. Many thousands of casks of spirits are reputed to have been landed here by a large fleet of smuggling vessels operating out of Cawsand Bay. Fishing was also an important industry and pilchard cellars believed to date from the late 16th Century are still to be seen here.

Today, Cawsand is the archetypal Cornish fishing village with its narrow meandering streets, beaches, coast path and gorgeous views. The is often described as Cornwall’s Forgotten Corner and it is true that Cawsand and its surroundings feel both unexplored and unspoilt. Here the Cornish coastline is particularly fine with secluded beaches and dramatic views from the long distance . with its prominent chapel is a striking local landmark with views as far as and beyond on clear days.

There is real village life to enjoy here and the twin villages boast many local facilities including four public houses, a sailing club, the Rame Gig Club, a post office, a bakery and a general store, as well as many local events and activities. A passenger ferry runs a regular service between Cawsand beach and the Barbican in Plymouth between March and November and the year round ferry (approximately 3 miles) connects Mount Edgcumbe with Stonehouse in Plymouth. The car ferry at Torpoint (approximately 7 miles) provides a 24/7 service to Plymouth. The Paddington to mainline trains stop at St Germans (approximately 10 miles away), with the A38 at a similar distance. 4 Ref: LCAA7983 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate)
