SITUATION The Lizard Peninsula, England's southernmost point, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, remains largely unspoiled, with much of its land owned by the National Trust. Secret coves, clifftop walks, the Devil's Frying Pan and the stunning Kynance Cove are all within walking distance.
Nestled on the South West Coastal Path, Cadgwith is a stunning and historic coastal village known for its picturesque mix of thatched hillside cottages, fishermen's netting lofts, and breath-taking sea views.
Cadgwith is centred around a charming cove and vibrant village community. Here, local fishing boats are still winched up and launched, the nearby pub enjoys weekly sea shanties and folk music, creating a timeless ambiance that has featured in various popular television series and films. With its rich history of smuggling and shipwrecks, Cadgwith has preserved its historic charm. No need to get in a car: Mengarth is 70 metres from two beaches, village shops, and a welcoming 18th century pub. Excellent schooling nearby.
