Prussia Cove (Cornish: Porth Legh),[1][2] formerly called King's Cove,[3] is a small private estate on the coast of Mount's Bay and to the east of Cudden Point, west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Part of the area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Geological Conservation Review site[4] and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It consists of four small coves and several cottages and houses. The names of the coves from west to east are Piskies, Bessy's, King's and Coule's. The area is accessible by foot from the South West Coast Path[5] The cove is known for the 18th-century ship-wrecker and smuggler John Carter, also known as the "King of Prussia".[6]
