SITUATION

Millbrook is a South East Cornwall village on the Rame Peninsula, around 4 miles south of Saltash and directly across the water from the naval city of Plymouth. Set at the head of a tidal creek framed by the Lynher and Tamar rivers and the sea, the area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village offers a good selection of everyday amenities, including a Spar with post office, a Co-op, primary school, village hall, newsagent and several independent shops. The nearby beaches at Whitsand Bay and Cawsand Bay provide opportunities for swimming, sailing and a variety of other watersports, while Mount Edgcumbe Country Park offers extensive coastal and countryside walking routes.

Plymouth, the main retail hub west of Exeter, lies roughly 8 miles away and provides a comprehensive range of shops, services and leisure facilities, as well as ferry links to France and Spain.
