Cadgwith
is a charming little village in Cornwall,
before the Lizard Village (near the most southerly
point in Britain). It has a sheltered harbour,
and a steep street either side with lovely
cottages.
After
Helston, RNAS Culdrose airbase (is on your
left), follow road to the Lizard, There are
some tight bends, gigs are beat to have a
safety car in front for the valley with its
very tight corners!
Take
2nd turn off on left to Cadgwith (HGV route)
follow the long straight road and follow left
at the corner. Over the brow of the hill there
are 2 granite posts on your right - go down
there. The car park is signed on the left
- straight on will lead you into Cadgwith.
Buller
Day. PLEASE leave gigs in car park
until instructed. Please contact us before
bringing gigs to the village, so we can help.
No
parking at all down in the village.
No parking at all down in the village. If
you have been there you'll know why. Park
near the top of the village, at the car park
sign, THE FIRST CAR PARK is the only one.
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
are photos of the Church and the village at
thelizard.info
There
is no wheelchair access on the top middle
of the path, so please use the road.
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 have to drive a couple
of miles through Ruan Minor with some very
narrow bends to get back to the car park.
The walk is quite short.

The
Club house is straight over the beach, the
dark building shown here with the dark car
in front of it on a November day. 2002
