Rame Head, Cornwall (Explored)

Rame Head is situated in the far south-east of Cornwall and separates Plymouth Sound and Cawsand Bay (to the left) from Whitsand Bay. On the top of Rame Head are the ruins of St Michael's Chapel, which was licensed for mass in 1397. It is on the site of a much earlier Celtic hermitage. As early as 1486 Plymouth was paying a watchman at Rame to maintain a beacon there to warn shipping and to bring news to Plymouth of important ships.

 

Thank you all for looking at my picture, and for your very kind comments, which are much appreciated.
