Cadgwith Fishing Village

Wednesday 12th October 2016

This morning was wet and miserable but it cleared up a bit by lunchtime so we decided to visit Cadgwith a quaint fishing village on the Lizard.  The lanes leading to and into Cadgwith are very narrow so parking is advised on the outskirts of the village.  We walked down to the sea through the village amongst very old picturesque cottages, many thatched. I would imagine in the Summer that this village is teeming with visitors but today it was empty, very peaceful and relaxed.  









Just a bit further along the coastal footpath is the Devil's Frying Pan.  In Cornwall this collapsed sea cave is known as a zawn. 


This is the little church in Cadgwith, we had to answer a few questions about this church to enable us to find a geoache in the village, so we had a look inside, it's very simple, in total contrast to St Mellanus in Mullion yesterday, but obviously well loved.


We were pleased to successfully find the geocache in quite a sneaky place on our way back to the car, a good result!  Despite the frequent light showers of rain we had a very pleasant afternoon.
