Rame Head
Historic Sites and buildings
The Rame Peninsula is steeped in history and has a great deal of historic places. The Rame Heritage Site provides information on the general history of the area. The iron age fort at Rame Head manufactured flint weapons. Later Rame forts at Picklecombe, Penlee, Cawsand, Maker Heights and Edgcumbe built over hundreds of years form the western part of the most extensive and complete historic coastal defences in the UK. The 13th century church at Rame still contains a bellows operated organ.
