Ref: 1705 Smoke Barn    
ST JOHN NEAR TORPOINT Torpoint 3 miles; Plymouth 4 miles. Across the Tamar estuary from Plymouth, this pretty village nestles in a wooded fold among lush green fields leading down to the water's edge. Close enough to the city (4 miles via the ferry) to enjoy all its benefits it has the advantage of being in a peaceful corner of Cornwall away from the bustling crowds. Popular with people who love boats, the area is also a haven for birdlife. St John's Lake with its wildfowl and footpaths running around its edge is just a 5 min walk away. The South West coast path running above the spectacular beaches on the Rame peninsula passes within 2 miles on its way to the beautiful coastal villages of Cawsand and Kingsand with their narrow streets and quaint cottages. Plymouth with its old Barbican dock area and the National Marine Aquarium also makes a great day out. If you love the sea, peaceful countryside, a village pub just a short walk away and a city within easy reach, this is the perfect place.
