More about this scene

Cadgwith is one of Cornwall's prettiest fishing villages, and huddles between steep cliffs a few miles north of the Lizard. The beach is a clutter of boats and fishing paraphernalia. On the right is the lifeboat house and in the centre a sizeable boat shed, the home of the 'Marianna'. Crabbing is a local industry.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

We moved to Cadgwith in 1979, the best move of our lives, everyone was so friendly. Our two boys grew up there and had the time of their lives fishing and playing on the beach. We were sad to leave in 1987 but will never forget Cadgwith. Steve and Shiela Thornton.
