Penberth Cove, Cove in the United Kingdom
Penberth Cove is a small fishing settlement nestled in a wooded valley on Cornwall's south coast. It features a wide granite slipway, an old wooden capstan, and working fishing boats that still operate from this natural harbor.
The cove has served as a fishing site for hundreds of years and has retained its original character throughout. The capstan and slipway date from this long maritime past and show how the community has preserved its traditional way of life.
The name comes from an old local family, and the cove remains a working harbor where fishing traditions shape daily life for residents. Boats and weathered cottages reflect how the community stays connected to the sea and its rhythms.
Parking is limited, so arriving early or parking on the road and walking down is best. Public toilets are available on-site, but no shops or cafés are nearby, so bring water and snacks for your visit.
Scenes from the television series Poldark were filmed here, showcasing the rugged coastal landscape. The cove is known for its cinematic appeal and its ongoing working fishing operation.
