Anyone who has visited Cadgwith Cove or knows of it from the BBC TV series, 'The Fisherman's Apprentice with Monty Halls' will understand what a special place it is and how important it is to maintain its traditional industry, fishing, which lies at the heart of the cove and the community.
There are three old buildings in Cadgwith Cove that are used by the fishermen to store their gear and process their catch. They also house a long established art gallery and two shops selling fresh fish.
The Trust are trying to put together the funding to buy all three buildings to keep them safe from the ever-present threat of development, which would see the buildings converted into more second homes and holiday lets.
The Cadgwith Cove Fishing Trust is a charitable trust whose purpose is the improvement, maintenance and protection of the historic communal fishing facilities in Cadgwith Cove.
The Trust has raised the required funds after an amazing response from people around the UK and worldwide. To see how this was achieved please visit the Cadgwith Cove Fishing Trust's Crowdfunder page
