Prussia Cove

Highlight • Natural

Prussia Cove is a small, sheltered inlet with a few cottages above it. The name goes back to the days of wrecking and smuggling when the cove was one of the best spots for landing and storing contraband. It was the headquarters of John Carter (born in 1738), one of Cornwall’s most successful smugglers, who was given the nickname 'King of Prussia' after a childhood game he played with his brothers in which he pretended to be Frederick the Great, the real King of Prussia.

Rocky Pathway to the Sea (Cornwall National Landscape)

Highlight • Natural

Be careful, it's slippery. There's no beach, but you can stand on the rocks in the sea. If you want, you can also do some daring climbing.
