CADGWITH COVE
Attractions:-
Cadgwith is an unspoilt traditional Cornish
fishing village with a working fleet of boats. You can still watch the fishermen bring in the daily catch to sell to
the local pubs, restaurants and the public.
In the village there is a
craft shop, a restaurant and an inn with regular live music.
From the cove you can follow the coastal footpath south past The Devils Frying pan
and on towards the Lizard which is about a three mile walk. If
however you decide to head north you pass the old serpentine works at
Poltesco. After
approximately a mile and a half walk you come to the superb sandy beaches of
Kennack Sands www.walkingbritain.co.uk
