Rosudgeon

A narrow, winding lane from the village leads to Prussia Cove (originally Portleah), a clifftop settlement that was named after a notorious 18th century smuggler, John Carter, who styled himself on Frederick the Great of Prussia. One story surrounding this unsavoury man tells how he used a cannon mounted on the cliffs to scare off revenue officers. In 1825 the building of a Coastguard Station here finally put an end to smuggling in Prussia Cove. Although John Carter’s cottage was demolished in 1906, the cove still holds the romance of its notorious connections with wrecking and smuggling. The smugglers’ wheel tracks can still be seen in the steep stone slipway leading up from the water’s edge.
