Cadgwith, The Lizard, Cornwall
Parish of Grade-ruan

Cadgwith Gig Club with their sea going rowing boats are well know in the south west for gig racing, mens and ladies crews. And the famous Buller Day.

The gig shed is at the Old Lifeboat House.
Cadgwith's gig's are painted with a light blue topside, a white bottom, dark blue top strake and a red rubbing strake.

Cadgwith Cove Inn (the building on the right of the photo) is the place for the Folk Club on Tuesday nights. On Friday night the Cadgwith Singers strike up at about 10pm, enjoy the atmosphere. (Thanks Dave).

No parking at all down in the village. If your been there you'll know why. Park near the top of the village (at the bottom of the car park is a small path It is a very beautiful walk though the centre of the valley with great views. Walk down the lovely wooded path from the car park, with its views across the narrow valley, with many flowers and past the famous small church, about the size of a room. St. Mary's is without doubt the most unpretentious Church.

There is no wheelchair access on the top of the path.

If so please drive down to the seafront. It is VERY narrow, (no joke), no large vehicles can pass, a car can, (be prepared to reverse a little). After going up the other side of the seafront, you will will have to drive a couple of miles with some very narrow bends to get back to the car park. The walk is quite short.
