Tea smuggling passed into local West Country folklore arrayed in a cloak of romance and respectability. Tea was drunk by nearly everyone in the 1770's and when King Charles II introduced unfair heavy taxes, many people from all walks of life turned to smuggling to receive their supply of tea. The rugged coastline around the South West has a notorious history of smuggling with its inaccessible coastline, remote beaches and craggy cliffs and many colourful stories abound of dareing smuggling runs.
