Kingsand in Devon, or Cornwall

Kingsand

Kingsand is a village on the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall, although Kingsand itself sits in a detached part of Devon locally situate in Cornwall. It is adjacent to Cawsand, its twin village, though Cawsand is in Cornwall proper and the two are barely distinguishable, all being, to the naked eye, one village.

The two villages are well known for their smuggling and fishing past. Although the known smuggling tunnels have been sealed up, there are still old fish cellars and boat stores to be seen along the coast. Today the villages are popular with tourists but retain their traditional character. (Read more)
