A few days away from the smoke, staying in Kingsand, Cornwall. Its a tiny village with a harbour and linked to the adjacent Cawsand. Until 1844, the two villages were in adjacent counties of Devon and Cornwall, but then the boundaries moved them both into Cornwall.
This is an unspoilt and picturesque part of Cornwall, away from many holiday maker routes by nature of the location, and therefore less commercialised. The local shop is across from the Mission Hall, where we are staying, and our location is next door to the Rising Sun pub, which was frequented by Prince Charles and Camilla a couple of weeks ago on a visit to the twin villages.
The area nestles into the twin bays of Cawsand and Kingsand and each day during this bank holiday weekend there have been many small sailing boats visiting, on trips from plymouth and further afield. For us, its great to have a few carefree days walking barefoot in an almost car free zone. Yes, you can drive a car in, but don’t expect to be able to get it out of the narrow winding streets again.
And now, will it be the Rising Sun, the Halfway House, the Cross Keys or the Devonshire Arms?
