The South East 'forgotten corner' of Cornwall
is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is set on the
Rame Peninsular, with spectacular coastal views. numerous
beaches, healthy walks, character fishing villages, Historic
places and Houses to visit and a wide variety of eating available.
Despite its nickname, this area
this area is in no way remote, with Plymouth (airport, trains,
buses) just 2.5 miles from us, and a new road system to take
you further into the West. The pretty villages of Kingsand
and Cawsand are close by, with Looe, Polperro and Fowey within
easy driving distance.
Perhaps the most famous of all
attractions, The Eden Project, is now about 1 hour from us. |

I have been creating weaving pictures
for many years, and have successfully exhibited in various
parts of the UK and Germany.
The materials I use are collected,
mainly, from the seashore along the South Coast of England
and Wales.

| History of The Rame Peninsula |
| The parish of Rame is in the extreme
south-east of Cornwall, on a peninsula to the west of Plymouth
Sound. It is situated in the deanery of East, and in the southern
division of the Hundred of East. It is bounded on the north
by the parishes of St Johns and Maker, and on the east, south
and west by the sea. The church, situated on high ground,
has long served as a navigational aid to mariners. There is
also a ruined chapel dedicated to St Michael and traces of
ancient defensive works. Polhawn Battery was a strong fortress
on the southern cliffs of the parish, effectively commanding
Whitsand Bay and the surrounding land approaches. There are
four miles of sandy beach on the west coast of the headland,
which in the past have witnessed many shipwrecks and are now
sprinkled with shacks and bungalows. Rame was united with Maker parish
in 1943 to form Maker-with-Rame parish. Maker-with-Rame
is now part of the Caradon District Council.
