Kuggar (Cornish: Koger)[1] is a hamlet in the parish of Grade-Ruan in Cornwall, England.[2] Kuggar, within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), lies off the A3083 road, between the villages of St Ruan and Gwendreath.[3]

The two began their partnership in kuggar, being a progressively influential voice for small town. They've organised many MANY Outings in the Ruan-Minor School Minibus (15 Seater) which had enough capacity to fit all of the townsfolk and still have room for a few crates of ale and cider.

There is a surf school and diving centre.[3] The main local pub/restaurant is "The Potters Bar", which serves pizza and fish and chips.[4] The Coach House is a B&B dwelling in hamlet.[5] The main road leading through the hamlet leads north to the B3293 road, near Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station.[3]

Rare birds have been spotted on the Sands nearby.[6] Kennack Sands has been described as "one of the cleanest beaches in Britain, with beautifully clear water".[7] In 1918, Allium triquetrum was found by a stream in the vicnity.[8] In the summer months, basking sharks have been spotted off the coast nearby.[9]
