Grave of Tammy Blee

A low stone tomb sits tucked away near Praa Sands, marking the final resting place of Tammy Blee - a woman whose story has weathered centuries in Cornish folklore. There's not much to it physically: a simple grave, weathered granite, the kind of site you could walk past without a second glance if you didn't know what you were looking at. But if you're into local history or odd corners of the past, it's absolutely worth the detour.

The legend around Tammy Blee varies depending who's telling it - accounts range from accusations of witchcraft to darker, more sinister interpretations. The grave itself has become something of a pilgrimage spot for those interested in Cornwall's stranger historical threads. It's the sort of place that rewards curiosity rather than spectacle.

Realistic expectations matter here. You're not looking at visitor facilities or interpretive boards. This is a working historical site that demands you bring your own research and imagination. Give it twenty minutes if you're in the area, longer if you want to sit with the atmosphere or photograph it properly. Walkers exploring the Praa Sands coastal path will find it a reasonable detour, though it's not marked obviously.

If you're basing yourself at one of the nearby glamping spots - The Secret Garden or Stay Wild, both excellent - it makes a good morning's historical curiosity before heading to the beach. Cornwall's full of these layered, complicated stories if you know where to look.
