Prussia Cove

Prussia Cove is one of those special places you find by seeing a sign and driving down  narrow lanes,  we could have tried walking down to the cove but I don't like stinging nettles LOL so  we didn't Prussia Cove has by far the most famous history of smuggling in Penwith. This is primarily due to John Carter, a notorious eighteenth century smuggler who worked from here, and was known as the King of Prussia. Carters' exploits include firing cannon at Revenue shipping, breaking in to Revenue premises but taking only his goods which had earlier been expropriated. This area has beautiful sea views. Prussia Cove itself can only be reached on foot, the nearest parking being approximately half a mile distant. Be warned, there is only very limited parking, the car park filling very quickly particularly in summer when full capacity can be reached by mid-day.  text taken from  http://www.pznow.co.uk/locplace1/pruscove.html
