Cawsand and Kingsand are twin villages in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated on the Rame Peninsula and is in the parish of Maker-with-Rame. Cawsand overlooks Plymouth Sound and adjoins Kingsand, formerly on the border of Devon and Cornwall (the border has since been moved and now is situated on the River Tamar). Once a renowned smuggling village, Cawsand now has three public houses (the Cross Keys Inn, the Devonport Inn and the Halfway house Inn) and a hotel (the Cawsand Bay Hotel).

Cawsand is within Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. There are frequent bus services to the city of Plymouth which is three miles to the north across Plymouth Sound. There is also a ferry service in the summer (from Cawsand beach to Plymouth Hoe) and a pilot gig club (Rame Gig Club). The Rame Peninsula is sometimes known as being in the Forgotten Corner of Cornwall.

Cawsand Fort is sited just above the village. The fort is an 1860s Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom fort built on the site of a 1779 battery to mount about 10 guns to cover the western entrance to Plymouth Sound by the breakwater. Released by the Ministry of Defence in 1926 it remained derelict until it was converted into residential accommodation.

Calstock - A Video Essay

Come and spend 10 minutes in Calstock, a beautiful English village in Cornwall (SW England) built on the banks of the River Tamar.

Calstock is historically a mining location in the 19th century, and is dominated by a mighty railway viaduct that used to take tin ore and lime from the hills down to Plymouth harbour on the coast.

Nowadays the village is home to fishing and tourism, and the most friendly people live and work there. You'll meet them in the video messing about on or besides the river throughout the day!

You'll also take a railway trip across the viaduct looking down on the village, then listen in to the great sounds from the strangest instruments (like pipes and shopping trollies) coming from the village's youth percusison club who meet outside the village hall just next to the river.

You'll also see the Monarch, the world's smallest paddle steamer which was being used for filming by a TV company when we stayed in Calstock.

Occasionally I depart from London landscapes when I take the HD camera on a holiday or work trip and find the location so beautiful and picturesque that it's worth adding non-London content to this channel.
