SITUATION Mullion is the largest and one of the most vibrant villages on the picturesque Lizard Peninsula. Renowned for its welcoming community atmosphere and strong coastal character, the village truly comes to life during the summer months, when both residents and visitors enjoy its excellent selection of independent shops, traditional inns, cafés, and inviting restaurants. Despite its idyllic coastal setting, Mullion remains exceptionally well served, offering both primary and secondary schooling together with a highly regarded 18-hole golf course enjoying spectacular sea views across the Cornish coastline.
Just over a mile from the village lies the charming Mullion Cove, a historic harbour sheltered by impressive twin sea walls that protect it from the waters of Mounts Bay. Steeped in maritime heritage and natural beauty, the cove is a popular destination for sailing, coastal walks, and enjoying the dramatic scenery for which the area is famed.
Nearby, Poldhu Cove offers a beautiful expanse of sandy beach, ideal for families, swimming, and watersports, while Polurrian Cove is another much-loved local destination, popular with surfers, walkers, and nature enthusiasts alike. Scenic stretches of the South West Coast Path connect these stunning coves, providing breathtaking walking routes along one of the country's most dramatic coastlines.
The wider Lizard Peninsula is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, celebrated for its rugged cliffs, hidden beaches, rolling countryside, and picturesque fishing villages. Among these is the charming harbour village of Cadgwith, a traditional working fishing cove renowned for its character, local seafood, and enduring Cornish heritage.
