Location

Cadgwith is everybody's idea of an archetypal fishing village with its tight cluster thatched cottages lining the sides of the valley and the small fleet of colourful fishing boats winched up on the shingle beach. The fact that the boats are still in use and the local pub (The Cadgwith Cove Inn) is renowned for its singing of Cornish songs of a Tuesday and Friday evening is testament to the traditional character of this village still being alive and well. The village also has a thriving gig club, a restaurant/café, The Crab Shack which offers a great selection of fresh fish and a small village shop.

The cove's orientation offers some protection from the prevailing south westerly winds that blow the strongest and has two small beaches, the fishing beach in front of the town where the slipway is right on the road, separating this from the adjacent (swimming) beach is a small rocky outcrop called the Todden. The large cliff to the south of the cove is known as the Man o' War.

Ruan Minor, just over half a mile away, has a primary school, an independent village store and Post Office, offering local produce sourced from the surrounding area, along with a community Café and a Doctors Surgery. Lizard Village is only three and a half miles away and is the most southerly settlement on the British mainland. There is an excellent primary school, a number of active social clubs, three pubs, several local cafes and a superb butchers arranged around the village green and surrounded by National Trust land. More varied shopping and dining facilities can be found in Mullion, which also hosts an outstanding secondary school and excellent golf course approximately five miles north-west.
The Lizard Peninsula is renowned for its scenery, flora and fauna. Much of the coastline is protected by the National Trust and the surrounding countryside is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, characterised by towering serpentine cliffs, magnificent beaches and pretty fishing villages. The Lizard’s varied strata and microclimate allow 600 species of flowering plant, nearly a quarter of all UK species, to thrive here, including Cornish Heath, found nowhere else in Britain.

The market town of Helston is 11 miles away and has a wide range of shopping and schooling facilities, whilst the cathedral city of Truro, approximately 31 miles away, is the municipal centre of the county. Travel links to the area are good, with the Lizard Peninsula being served by wide roads and the A30 providing dual carriageway access through Cornwall from the M5 at Exeter. There are mainline railway stations at Redruth and Truro and Cornwall Airport (Newquay), offers both domestic and international locations
