Kingsand and its nearby neighbour Cawsand form part of the rather beautiful Rame Peninsula. Each of these pretty little villages has a pub, cafes and other super places to eat as well as a sprinkling of shops and gift shops including ‘The Stores’ in Kingsand where amongst other locally produced goodies you can buy their wonderful sourdough bread, delivered fresh every day.
Kingsand and Cawsand have three small beaches with sand and shingle separated by areas of rocks all with lovely views. The South West Coast Path offers splendid scenery around Penlee Point to Rame Head; Mount Edgcumbe Country Park and Antony House are within a short drive and there are several golf courses in the immediate area.
Whitsand Bay, 2 miles,has a long stretch of sand and rocks, and a summer passenger ferry operates from Cawsand Beach across the Sound landing at the Plymouth Barbican.
Outside
A good-sized, private, paved courtyard to the rear with comfy garden furniture and a charcoal barbecue provided. The courtyard is securely enclosed and ideal for pets. You can also conveniently access the rear courtyard from the side passageway.
The local area
Just the other side of the Tamar Bridge or reached by ferry from Plymouth is the Rame Peninsula – a wild headland studded with fishing villages, golden sandy beaches and pretty coves. It is home to Cawsand, a little haven of pastel-coloured cottages encircling a shingle beach and bay that overlooks the stunning Plymouth Sound. On clear days, you can catch a glimpse of all sorts of wildlife from birds to seals and dolphins, and even the famous Eddystone lighthouse.
Holidays in Cawsand are slow, peaceful and relaxing. Explore its narrow streets, shops and galleries, buy fresh sourdough bread and pastries from the Old Bakery and enjoy fish and chips or seriously good pub grub at old sailors’ haunt the Devonport. Cawsand’s twin village of Kingsand is equally as charming: while away a lazy afternoon wandering its historic streets with an ice cream in hand.
With its colourful wooden boats, shingle beach and woodland border, holidays in Cawsand are ideal for those who wish to escape the crowds in this idyllic little bay. The crystal-clear, calm water is perfect if you want to enjoy a morning dip, SUP or kayak. Kayaking and stand-up paddleboards can be hired on the beach. Enjoy a day out in the bustling city of Plymouth with its enticing array of restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops – just catch the Cremyll Ferry from the beach.
If walking is your thing, Whitsand Bay is just over five miles away along the South West Coast Path. These long, golden sandy beaches are often quiet even at the height of summer and are perfect for surfing, sunbathing and sand castles. Picnic in the dreamy riverside gardens at Port Eliot, a boho stately home which hosts quirky events such as the Dog Festival & Whippet Tea Party in May and a popular literary festival in the summer, or head to Mount Edgcumbe park, where you can rent bikes or Segways for a fun afternoon out.
Tea and cake at the Long Gallery, the beautifully restored old school house in St Germans, prepares you for a bracing walk around Rame Head. In medieval times monks were said to have retreated to its chapel – a tiny stone building far out on the headland. You feel you might be swept away with the seagulls. Afterwards, the Rod and Line in Tideford serves a lovely Sunday roast.
Sea air, a hint of nostalgia and peace: holidays in Cawsand are a wonderful tonic all year round.
