Big screen Fame and the beautiful Rame

Kingsand

Rame Head

The Rame peninsula is an often neglected corner of Cornwall. This suits our guests as it is less than 30 minutes drive from Cider Cottage and a wonderful area to explore with its glorious uncrowded sandy beaches and rich heritage. The village of Kingsand, once a popular haunt of smugglers, recently featured in the acclaimed film, Mr Turner staring Timothy Spall. The village took the guise of Margate in Kent for the filmmakers. Other scenes from the film included the evocative Rame Head with its 11th century monks' chapel. Rame Head offers stunning views along the wide sweep of Whitsand Bay and out to the Eddystone Lighthouse, far out at sea.

Nearby Antony House is an early 18th Century property, now owned by the National Trust. The popular 2010 family film, Alice in Wonderland, was filmed in the grounds of Antony House and it is certainly well worth a visit.  The 800 acre Mount Edgcumbe Park also makes a great day out with stunning views across Plymouth Sound and many features including a folly, an ice house, grotto and deer park.
