Holiday Cottages in Cadgwith, Lizard Peninsula

Cadgwith is a picturesque fishing village on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula, where traditional thatched cottages, narrow lanes and colourful fishing boats surround a sheltered cove. Unlike many former fishing communities, Cadgwith remains a working fishing village, giving visitors a glimpse of an important part of Cornwall's coastal heritage.

At the heart of the village, fishing boats are hauled onto the shingle beach, while the nearby Cadgwith Cove Inn is a popular place to enjoy food, drink and traditional folk music. The village is divided into two coves by a small headland known as The Todden, with its distinctive setting making Cadgwith a favourite subject for artists and photographers.

The South West Coast Path passes through Cadgwith, offering spectacular walks along the rugged coastline towards Kennack Sands in one direction and Lizard Point in the other. The surrounding cliffs, secluded coves and coastal heathland provide wonderful opportunities to explore the natural beauty of the Lizard Peninsula.

Just inland lies the peaceful village of Ruan Minor, while nearby attractions include the beautiful beaches at Kennack Sands and Kynance Cove, Lizard Lighthouse and the dramatic scenery around Lizard Point. The village of Lizard also offers a wider choice of shops, cafés and other amenities.

With its traditional character, working fishing harbour and beautiful coastal surroundings, Cadgwith is a lovely location for a relaxing Cornish holiday. Explore our selection of holiday cottages in Cadgwith and the surrounding area.
