The pretty twin beach villages in the ‘forgotten corner' of Cornwall
The villages in Cornwall are found in a 'forgotten corner' of the coast and while they are now twinned, were once in separate counties.

Kingsand and Cawsand sit side by side on the south east of the county.
They are often described as being in the 'forgotten corner' due to their secluded location on the Rame Peninsula.
The adjoining villages aren't visited by tourists as much as the likes of St Ives, Port Isaac, Mevagissey, and Mousehole.
But both villages have beautiful shingle beaches and cosy looking cottages.
The banks of Cawsand have plenty of rockpools to explore, and when the sea is calm, boats can be hired for another adventure.
One visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: "To get to the beach you walk through beautiful little coloured cottages and a gorgeous town square.
"The beach was clean and well kept, very safe for the children as it was within a bay so there were no rips."
During the summer season, a vintage ice cream called Cawsand Bay Vintage Scoops on the promenade next to Cawsand beach to serve iced treats.
The village of Kingsand has another of the area's favourite beaches.
The bay is well sheltered so it's perfect for swimming, and it's dog-friendly all year round.

The beach is surrounded by pubs, making it a great spot for holidaymakers, popular spots include the The Devenport Inn and The Halfway House Inn.
The two village were historically separated by a stream, with Kingsand in Devon and Cawsand in Cornwall.
This division continued until 1844, when the boundary was adjusted, and Kingsand officially became part of Cornwall as well.
Both have a rich history of smuggling and fishing, you can even see remains of old pilchard cellars from the late 16th century on the shoreline beyond Kingsand.
Further along the coastline is another tiny Cornish village that's been called the UK's answer to Greece.
Quaint cottages sit in the hillsides and fishing boats bob in the harbour which further paints the image of Greece.
In the village there are steep streets to amble down filled with charming houses, shops and galleries.
And another Cornish village compared to Greece with seafront Roman attraction and one of the UK's warmest beaches.
Plus an English village that's the 'quiet side of Cornwall' has A-list holidaymakers and no cars.

FA release statement warning England fans NOT to travel to the airport as Lioness heroes fly home after Euro 2025 glory
ENGLAND fans have been urged NOT to travel to the airport as the Lionesses heroes return to the UK this afternoon. Sarina Wiegman's side won back-to-back Euros titles after defeating Spain 3-1 on penalties in Switzerland. 1 But the FA have released a statement begging jubilant England fans to stay away from their landing airport. The move is to ensure the players' smooth and safe arrival, preventing potential overcrowding and logistical nightmares at what will be extremely busy airports. Instead, supporters are being encouraged to join in the official homecoming celebrations planned for central London on Tuesday. The team bus will parade down The Mall, culminating in a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial, hosted by former England star Alex Scott.

King to visit nuclear transport ship in far north of Scotland
The King is scheduled to visit Scrabster in Caithness, northern Scotland, on Monday. He will attend a reception to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Dounreay nuclear site, the 50th anniversary of Pacific Nuclear Transport Limited (PNTL), and the 20th anniversary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). The King will unveil a plaque on the Pacific Heron, a sophisticated second-generation nuclear transport ship, and meet its crew. Dounreay served as the UK's primary centre for nuclear research and development from 1955 to 1994, focusing on experimenting with plutonium and uranium for electricity generation. PNTL, celebrating 50 years of operation, runs advanced cargo vessels between Europe and Japan and maintains a flawless nuclear safety record.

King visits Scotland... but will be 300 miles from Trump
The King will visit Scotland on Monday, but will still be 300 miles from the US president. The monarch, 76, is not set to cross paths with Donald Trump during the president's four-day informal visit to his Turnberry golf course in Scotland, which he bought in 2014. On a visit to Caithness, in the far north of Scotland, the King will unveil a plaque and attend a reception at a nuclear site to commemorate engineers who experimented with plutonium and uranium to generate electricity in the 1950s. Both the White House and Buckingham Palace agreed that it would be preferable to delay meeting in person until Mr Trump's official state visit in September, when the King will host him in Windsor Castle. Sources previously said this decision was made partly because of 'diary challenges'. Mr Trump met Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, on Sunday and will meet with Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, on Monday. After his meeting with Mrs von der Leyen, Mr Trump announced that a US-EU trade deal had been reached. The UK-US trade deal is expected to be the main topic on the agenda with Sir Keir and September's state visit comes at a crucial time as the Government seeks to reaffirm transatlantic ties. The president, who has made no secret of his deep fondness and admiration for the Royal family, said ahead of his visit that the King was a 'great gentleman'. The formal state visit, which will take place from Sept 17 to 19, will also include Melania Trump, the first lady. Asked what he hoped to achieve upon his return to the UK, he told the BBC: 'Have a good time and respect King Charles.' The King, who is still undergoing weekly cancer treatment, will share the hosting duties with the Queen. Scotland's largest nuclear clean-up On Monday, the monarch is also expected to meet with sea cadets and Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers. On arrival at Scrabster Harbour, he will greet the crew of the Pacific Heron, a second-generation, purpose-built nuclear transport ship that is one of the most sophisticated in the world. He will then visit Fish Market Hall and spend time meeting staff from the nuclear industry and community members from Thurso. From 1955 until 1994, Dounreay was the UK's centre of nuclear research and development and scientists experimented with plutonium and uranium to generate electricity using a more advanced type of nuclear reactor. It is now described as 'Scotland's largest nuclear clean-up and demolition project' and a site of 'construction, demolition and waste management'. The King will attend a reception to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pacific Nuclear Transport Limited (PNTL), which has been operating for 50 years between Europe and Japan. The purpose-built ships are three of the most advanced cargo vessels in operation, and PNTL was described as operating 'a flawless nuclear safety record' and is committed to innovation regarding the sustainability of its shipping operations.
