Cadgwith Corner

This is our "scrapbook" from Cornwall: a (small) collection of pictures, thoughts, and memories. We hope it gives you a sense of why it is such an important part of our lives.

Cadgwith is a small fishing village on the eastern coast of the Lizard Peninsula, just north of the Lizard itself, the most southerly point in Britain. (The Isles of Scilly don't count because they are islands!) It has the unusual feature of a double cove — the swimming beach and the fishing beach are separated by a rocky outcropping, called The Todden.
