メーカーウィズレイムでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Dogs can go on Kingsand beach all year Round!

Commissioned in the mid 19th-century by Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister under Queen Victoria, Fort Picklecombe was one of a series of coastal forts built in defence of potential large scale enemy invasion by sea, particularly from France. Now holiday cottages.

Possibly one of Cornwall's best kept secrets, Rame Head has been a place of human settlement since at least the iron age. The banks and ditches of an iron age fort are still visible and perched on top of Rame Head is a medieval chapel. If you're lucky, you will also see the wild Dartmoor ponies that roam the peninsula.

The Earl's Drive stretches from Maker through Cawsand to Queen Adelaide's grotto on Penlee Point. It was built in the 18th century as a carriageway.

Minadew Brakes is a lovely stretch of grassland with stunning views to Cawsand and across Plymouth Sound to Penlee Point. It's a great place for a mid hike picnic.

The view from the footpath down Hooe Lake Valley to the sea is gorgeous whatever the weather. There is a bench up here too so you can take a rest while drinking it all in.

Great food and a lively atmosphere at the Halfway House Inn…live music on a Wednesday evening, traditional Cornish music when we were there.

The Halfway House in is in the centre of Cawsand/Kingsand which are actually two small towns combined into one. The old boundary between Cornwall and Devon used to run through here, before it was moved to the Tamar River, with Cawsand in Cornwall and Kingsand in Devon. Opposite the Halfway House Inn there is a marker on the wall of a house which has Corn on one side and Devon on the other, possibly the original boundary marker.
