Description
Cadgwith is a tiny picturesque fishing village located on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, England.
A stream winds down the valley and trickles over the sand and shingle beach, whitewashed cottages, mostly thatched, are scattered on both slopes of the valley and fishing boats are drawn up on the beach.
Forgotten by the 21st Century, this is a place where the fishing boats still go out every day, as they have done for hundreds of years, not for pilchards nowadays but for crab.
All around the cove are reminders of the past - old pilchard cellars, winches, the old lifeboat house that was used until 1963, memories of much-loved fishermen who lost their lives at sea. All are carefully preserved and yet still form part of everyday life.
