For more pictures go to Rame Peninsular
Rame Head or Ram Head is a coastal headland, southwest of the village of Rame in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is part of the larger Rame Peninsula. Just across from Plymouth on the Devon side of the greater South West Peninsular.
Quite a favourite spot we’ve come to appreciate is the Rame Peninsular, The views are spectacular and small villages/towns are lovely like St John and Milbrook.
This is Milbook from a distance seated in the estuary reaches of the Tamar towards the sea and the Lynher which starts its journey from high up near Bolventor on Bodmin Moor. Whilst the Tamar source is north between West Youlstone and East Youlstone
The two rivers meander their way down from the moor coming together at Saltash where the rivers finally join the sea at Plymouth Sound, beyond which it bounds the peninsular on the south side. Plymouth Sound is a large natural harbour which has served the navies of the UK for many centuries.
Milbrook Pond is a lovely lake created by damming up the water in the estuary to provide an all year round place which birds and people can enjoy.Beyond the dam is the tidal estuary.
As the road edges (Lower Anderton Rd)its way along the creek it then rises up to meet the B3247 turning left passing Mount Edgcombe on your right you arrive at the Cremyll Ferry and the Edgecombe Arms and a little further around the corner to the Mashfords Shipbuilding Yard, Torpoint
The Royal Albert Bridge (1859) stands as a testament to the engineering genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. One of the greatest bridges in the world, it is unique in design, unequaled in engineering and graceful in appearance. and from this high point is wonderful sight.
Time to head for home at around 4 pm and an interesting day just roaming around one of the prettiest spots you can find in this quiet backwater of England.
