Kuggar (Cornish: Koger)[1] is a hamlet in the parish of Grade-Ruan in Cornwall, England.[2] Kuggar, within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), lies off the A3083 road, between the villages of St Ruan and Gwendreath.[3]
Landmarks[edit]
The area is dominated by holiday parks, particularly the Sea Acres and Kennack Sands Holiday Parks. There is a surf school and diving centre.[3] The main local pubs/restaurants are "The Potters Bar", which serve pizza and fish and chips and "The Riptide Bar and Grill" which serves steak, and salmon.[4] The Coach House is a B&B dwelling in hamlet.[5] The main road leading through the hamlet leads north to the B3293 road, near Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station.[3]
