Cadgwith, Cornwall

Thank-you very much Lynda, I just love this little village, so far from the madding crowd, LOL.,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Cheryl, much appreciated my friend,
Regards, Rod.

How I wish it was me that was going down there tomorrow, have a wonderful holiday on the Lizard Richard, many thanks my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Howard, yes I saw Graham’s shot of Cadgwith and commented at the time that I knew exactly where he was standing, having been there and taken this the week before,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Rosie, I am so pleased you are enjoying the shots from Cornwall, it is such a sleepy and peaceful little village, every time I visit it I never want to leave,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Tom, sadly these old villages are losing their old traditional ways of life and with it, much of their history, good that there are still a few where we can escape to.
For me, the best part of my visit was watching a couple of fishing boats landing and being hauled up the foreshore on a winch and listening to the Cornish fishermen’s accents,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Kathy, it felt like time had stood still for generations when I was there,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Vadim, it was good to visit this old fishing village again and see the traditional ways of life hadn’t changed in years,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed Dave,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Keith, it’s places like this that gives Cornwall it’s unique charm, let’s hope the traditional lifestyles stay with us into the future,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Gerry, one of my favourite little Cornish fishing villages, so good to see nothing had changed since my last visit,
Regards, Rod.

It is a lovely old village Catherine and I’m sure visiting it is a must do for lovers of the traditional Cornish lifestyle, I hope you have a wonderful holiday down there on the Lizard, I’m missing it already, thanks so much my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Hi Barbara, thanks so much my friend, it’s like one of those places that time forgot, no modernity and long may it stay that way, I always look forward to visiting the village,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Estes, I always enjoy my visits to Cadgwith,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Tina, the little village is only a few miles off the beaten track and has managed to keep it’s traditional way of life I’m pleased to say,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Ann, appreciated as always,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Scott,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Bela,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Sandra, sadly this kind of village and traditional lifestyle of the people who live there are fast disappearing in almost every part of the world today so it makes it all the more special to visit and soak in the relaxed atmosphere,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Felicity, it’s only a few miles off the road down to the Lizard Point but seems to have escaped the large influx of tourists that go to the point throughout the year,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Chris, it is so peaceful there, just a small number of visitors when we were there and like us, watching the fishermen bringing in their catch,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Donna, Cornwall still has quite a number of these sleepy little traditional fishing villages, Cadgwith in particular is so peaceful and not at all commercialized,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Evita, I wish I could get down there more often, the slower pace of life is like a tonic,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Catherine,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed Denise, appreciated as always,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks Connie, I just love the sleepy atmosphere in these old Cornish fishing villages, like taking a step back in time to my childhood days,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Bevan, I watched as a couple of boats were being winched up the shingled foreshore and then realized that the boats had runners underneath them so they don’t wear the hull out, obviously built for this particular kind of landing,
Regards, Rod.

It’s not so far from the Lizard Point and more than worth a visit when you are down this way Lyn, there’s a good car park a couple of hundred yards from the waterfront, many thanks my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thankfully there are still a hard chore of small boats fishing with lobster and crab pots from the village so it does keep it’s traditional way of life more than so many of the other villages that have become tourist resorts, over fishing from large factory ships has become a major worldwide problem.
They seem to have a good balance of traditional and tourist trade here that will hopefully see them through, many thanks John,
Regards, Rod.

Very little seems to have changed in Cadgwith over the years I’ve been visiting it Dave which goes back around 30 years, the pilchard fishing more or less came to a halt in the late fifties I’m told, quite a number of the cottages are now holiday cottages but the kind of tourists who stay at them go for the peaceful lifestyle rather than expecting resort facilities.
So pleased it brought back some pleasant memories for you, many thanks my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Tai, it was great to spend another week down in Cornwall and visit many of the places I hold so dear, Cadgwith never seems to change a bit and that’s the way I like it,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Svetlana, I always enjoy my visits to Cadgwith,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Luda, the yellow/orange colour on the slate roofs is lichen, it grows on most of the seaside roofs as well as the rocks on the coast,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Trudi, like so many of these small fishing villages, there is always quite a bit of activity with boats coming and going constantly,
Regards, Rod.

I do sometimes worry that viewers can’t see the detail at this small resolution, thankfully your eyes are better than mine Lois, it does look so much better at full size but that’s around 12 times the size of my monitor, thank-you so much,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Henri, it is a beautiful little village, so peaceful and so very Cornish if you know what I mean, we saw a few boats landing their catch of crabs and lobsters while we were there,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks again Kim, it never changes much at all in Cadgwith, hope it stays that way,
Regards, Rod.

Hi John, thank-you very much indeed my friend, it is a very peaceful little fishing village and always a pleasure to spend some time there,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much again Daffo, this little fishing village used to have many boats fishing for pilchards (you may know them as sardines), when the fish stocks were depleted most of the boats moved on to another port and the few that remain catch crabs and lobsters these days,
I do enjoy the peaceful atmosphere there on my visits,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Shaun, the village is so typical of old Cornwall, nothing ever seems to change there over the years, well worth a visit if you’re down this way,
Regards, Rod.

Sorry about the late reply Don, I missed your comment, Cadgwith is certainly worth a visit the next time your down on the Lizard,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Carol, many of the roofs in these Cornish fishing villages get that yellowish lichen growing on them,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Shaun, if you ever watch any of Rick Stein’s programs on TV, you’re likely to have seen him in Cadgwith, it’s well worth a visit,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Hans, it’s a great little fishing village to visit, the atmosphere is always so laid back and peaceful there,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Sharon, it’s a beautiful old fishing village and so little has changed there over the years, so peaceful too,
Regards, Rod.
