Rame Peninsula

It is surrounded by the English Channel to the south, Plymouth Sound to the east, the Hamoaze to the northeast and the estuary of the River Lynher to the north-west.

On a clear day, the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from advantageous points from Rame Head.

The largest settlement is Torpoint, which is on the eastern coast, facing Devonport in Plymouth, Devon.

The peninsula has been the location of a number of fortifications defending the western approaches to Plymouth Sound, including Tregantle and Scraesdon Forts, and Tregantle Down, Hawkins, Rame Church and Penlee Batteries.
