Cadgwith

Administrative Port: Newlyn
County: Cornwall

Cadgwith is a village and fishing port located in south-west Cornwall, England, on what is known as the Lizard peninsula. From the 16th century, the village became inhabited, with fishing as the main occupation. Subsequently houses, lofts and cellars constructed of local stone and slated roofs were built along Cadgwith’s coast leading to its characteristic fishing village appearance. Cadgwith had a significant Pilchard fishery up until the 1950s, however over-fishing meant this fishery became unviable. While fishing is still important to the economy today with fishermen hauling their boats up on the working beach, tourism is the main source of income for Cadgwith with it being a popular summer holiday destination.
