Wilcove
Wilcove is a small coastal village in Cornwall. It is situated one mile north of Torpoint and one mile west of Devonport across the Hamoaze, the tidal estuary of the River Tamar.
Wilcove has a village hall and a riverside pub. The village also enjoyed a long connection with the Royal Navy: HMS Defiance, a small naval base, was located in the village until the 1950s; HMS Valiant, a large pumping ship, was moored off Wilcove between the wars. The South-East part of the village houses the Thanckes oil depot, which is run by the Ministry of Defence.
