Prussia Cove

Prussia Cove

Prussia Cove is a small inlet on the south coast in the Penwith region of West Cornwall, England, United Kingdom (coordinates 50° 06' 03" N, 5° 25' 04" W), to the west of Praa Sands.

It is accessible by foot from the Cornish coastal footpath. Prussia Cove is most famous for the eighteenth century ship-wrecker and smuggler John Carter (b. 1738), known as the king of Prussia. In 1947, HMS "Warspite" ran aground here.

In 2004, the British period drama Ladies in Lavender starring Judi Dench and Maggie Smith was filmed there.
