The Lizard Peninsula is, quite simply, unique. Standing alone in a very real sense, the saying “off the beaten track” is truly appropriate for an area which has been designated an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” with much of the coastline entrusted to the National Trust to ensure that it remains preserved and unspoilt.
This is a place of contrasts. The dramatic cliffs around Kynance, Mullion and Lizard Point present a rugged face to the elements while, to the east, the softer, greener landscape of the Helford river shows the visitor an entirely different side to this enchanted area.

As mainland England’s most southerly point, the Lizard Peninsula enjoys the full benefit of the Gulf Stream (widely accepted as the warmest place in mainland Britain) making the weather perfect for out-of-season breaks.
The Lizard’s unique combination of geology and climate also provides the ideal conditions for some of the world’s rarest plants and flora with the sub-tropical vegetation providing a profusion of colour for much of the year.

A naturalist’s delight with seals, basking sharks and dolphins often seen swimming in the shallow waters off the coast, the area is perhaps most rewarding for the ornithologist as there are many bird species, both resident and summer visitors, with large numbers of migrant birds in early spring. Lizard Point itself has a brooding and awe-inspiring beauty, its lighthouse flashing out a 29-mile beam to guide mariners navigating the English Channel.

There are also many unspoilt villages with bays, sandy coves and rocky beaches that are completely safe for bathing. Picturesque harbours remain virtually untouched by the passage of time and are full of small fishing and pleasure craft which will take you along the coast to admire the cliffs from a different perspective.
A source of inspiration to artists and photographers alike, it is a place where the sea meets the sky; where you can be at one with nature and where, as dusk falls, you can see some of the most spectacular sunsets anywhere in the world.
