Penberth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penberth is a small village on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
Penberth cove is one of the last remaining traditional fishing coves in Cornwall. A handful of local fisherman still make their living from fishing for mackerel, lobster and crab, though the number has declined sharply since the 1980s.
The cove was purchased in the 1930s by the Favell family, who lived at the main house in the cove, Foxstones. They donated Penberth Cove in 1957 to the National Trust through the National Heritage Fund, in memory of those who died in the Second World War. Several grandchildren of the Favell family still live in Penberth.
