Maker-with-Rame sits on the eastern tip of the Rame Peninsula in south‑east Cornwall, projecting into Plymouth Sound. The parish includes the village of Maker and the rugged promontory of Rame Head, with cliffs, tidal creeks and expansive sea views across to Plymouth; the coastal path that runs here is popular with walkers seeking quieter, dramatic shoreline scenery.
Historically the area has strong maritime and defensive links, with 19th‑century batteries and a long tradition of fishing alongside small‑scale farming. Today it is a small, close‑knit community where tourism, outdoor recreation and daily commuting to nearby towns sit beside local parish life - the combination of military heritage, chapel and church history, and sweeping coastal walks gives the place a distinctive, somewhat secluded character often described fondly as the “forgotten corner” of the county.
