SITUATION The Lizard Peninsula is the most southerly point of mainland Britain, jutting out into the sea where the Atlantic Ocean and English Channel meet. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Lizard is characterised by magnificent sandy beaches, towering cliffs and pretty fishing villages boasting some of the most scenic coastline in the country. Lizard Village itself has a vibrant community and provides a range of local amenities with wider facilities available in the town of Helston, some 12 miles distant.
Lizard Point, with its lighthouse is around half a mile and the coastal footpath can be followed to the east or west. Eastward, the path passes the lighthouse and the Lloyds Signal Station as it makes it way along the cliffs towards the fishing village of Cadgwith. Westward it passes Kynance Cove and there are splendid views over Mounts Bay towards Lands End as it heads for Mullion and Gunwalloe.
