A traditional fishing village located on the south eastern tip of the Lizard Peninsula, Cadgwith is one of the most unspoilt places in Cornwall. Time has almost stood still in this lovely little village, offering visitors an escape from ordinary life. To enjoy your own slice of Cornish life, book a Cadgwith cottage.

Why a Cadgwith cottage?

Holidays here are all about exploring the coastal footpath, landing a catch for the barbecue, and simply enjoying each other’s company in centuries-old smugglers’ inns.

The main attraction for most visitors is its characteristically Cornish charm - with thatched, whitewashed cottages, old pilchard cellars, and a former lifeboat house.

Fishing boats have launched from the main beach for generations; to this day, they sail daily, offering their catch to local pubs and restaurants on their return. The natural landscape surrounding Cadgwith is particularly beautiful; abound with refreshing cliff tops walks, awe-inspiring vistas and all sorts of local wildlife including the Cornish chough. Bring your walking boots and your binoculars, and lose track of time re-discovering nature at its best…

… and if you fancy a scenic or fishing boat trip, then speak to local fisherman Nigel Legge – who featured on the BBC’s Fisherman’s Apprentice with Monty Halls. Nigel offers trips around the coastline in his fishing boat Razorbill.

The village pub is a real hub of community life in Cadgwith, with folk music and sea shanty nights every week. During the summer months, the village also hosts gig racing, a regatta, summer barbecues and plenty of live music – not forgetting the fortnightly fishing competition! A sense of community is important to the residents of Cadgwith, and visitors are encouraged to take part in all events.
