GIBSONS CLASSIC 1000PC PUZZEL CADGWITH COVE

Cadgwith is a tiny village located on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall,England and is everything that a Cornish fishing village should be. A stream winding down the valley and trickling over the sand and shingle beach,whitewashed cottages,mostly thatched,scattered on both slopes of the valley and fishing boats drawn up on the beach. Cadgwith is a real working village that holds on to a way of life almost completely forgotten elsewhere. Fishing boats still go out every day,as they have done for hundreds of years,not for pilchards nowadays but for crab,lobster,mackerel,shark and mullet. The pub remains the social centre of the village where folk music and traditional Cornish singing can often be heard. All around the cove are reminders of the past - old pilchard cellars,winches,the old lifeboat house that was used until 1963,memories of much-loved fishermen who lost their lives at sea. All are carefully preserved and yet still form part of everyday life. By artist Terry Harrison Puzzle size 685x490mm when complete Suitable Age 10 Years +
