Staying in the Rame Peninsula Area
Staying on the Rame Peninsula offers a peaceful and authentic Cornish experience, far from the busy tourist centres. Known as Cornwall’s “forgotten corner,” this area charms visitors with its unspoilt beaches, dramatic coastline, and sleepy villages nestled in rolling countryside. It’s perfect for those seeking a slower pace of life, natural beauty, and a strong sense of community. Whether you’re booking a cosy seaside cottage or a quirky eco-stay, the peninsula offers a wide range of welcoming accommodation—often family-run and full of character.
Exploring the area is easy, especially for those keen to leave the car behind. Regular double-decker buses run along the coastal road, providing stunning views over Whitsand Bay, and the mainline train station at St Germans links to Plymouth, Cornwall, and beyond. It’s ideal for walkers, with the South West Coast Path weaving past hidden coves, clifftops, and through woodlands. From the panoramic views at Rame Head to gentle strolls between the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, there’s a walk for every energy level.
Each village has its own personality. Kingsand and Cawsand are postcard-perfect, with colourful cottages, beaches, and cosy pubs. Millbrook has a lively creative scene, while St Germans offers riverside charm and historical interest. For complete seclusion, Portwrinkle’s quiet beaches and craggy coastline are perfect for wild swims and reflection.
Nature lovers are in their element here. The area is rich in birdlife, wildflowers, and sea views—ideal for photographers, artists, and anyone needing a breath of fresh air. A visit to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park adds deer, gardens, and historic estates to the mix. Whether you’re in search of adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, the Rame Peninsula offers a uniquely restful and rewarding stay.
