This pub is situated in a village called Zelah in Cornwall.
The owners have written," The Hawkins Arms is an historic coaching inn and one of the oldest pubs in Cornwall situated on the old highway from London to Land’s End. Originally, the pub was called ‘The Half Moon’ but in the 19th century was renamed ‘Hawkins Arms’ to honour west country Elizabethan seafarer, Sir Richard Hawkins, nephew of Sir Francis Drake and a commander in Drake’s fleet fighting against the Spanish Armada."
Sir Richard Hawkins had an adventurous career and he wrote a book entitled 'Voiage into the South Sea'.
