Penberth (Cornish: Benbryhi)[1] is a coastal village and cove on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is about seven miles (11 km) southwest of Penzance.[2]
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[citation needed].
