About

The Rame Peninsula forms the southeastern corner of Cornwall, bordered by the River Lynher and Plymouth Sound. It is a quiet, rural area of farmland, small villages, and coastal cliffs. The main settlements include the villages of Kingsand, Cawsand, and Maker. The ward of St Germans is located to the west, centred on the historic village of St Germans itself, which sits inland along the River Tiddy. This area is characterised by wooded river valleys and agricultural land.

A notable landmark is the twin-village of Kingsand and Cawsand, with their narrow streets and former fishing cottages. The peninsula is home to Mount Edgcumbe House and its extensive country park, which stretches across the coastline. The area's coastline includes the headland of Rame Head, topped by a medieval chapel. The Tamar Valley, forming part of the border with Devon, influences the local landscape and history.
