The beach at Kingsand, Cornwall

Kingsand is in the far south-east of Cornwall on the Rame Peninsula. The former fishing village overlooks Plymouth Sound, with Plymouth in the far distance. The village is susceptible to damage by winter storms, and repairs have only just been completed as a result of a particularly violent storm nearly two years ago. Until the middle of the 19th century the border between Devon and Cornwall lay between Kingsand and its neighbouring village of Cawsand, with Kingsand being in Devon. But now the border between the two counties is the River Tamar. This is a relatively quiet part of Cornwall, being somewhat off the beaten track. It is also one of my favourite places.
