Episode 5
In Cadgwith, Cornwall’s last traditional full-time fishing cove, fathers and sons work side by side. There’s new blood in the fleet, but the future of the cove is under threat.
Cadgwith Cove is Cornwall’s last traditional full-time fishing cove.
As boats got bigger, fish stocks declined and young men left, many of Cornwall’s other coves faded away.
Despite this, Cadgwith has held strong. For generations, sons have followed fathers off the beach and out to sea. Now, the next generation is set to join the fleet.
But while there might be new blood within the fleet, the old working fabric of the cove itself is now under threat.
