View of Mullion Cove

Highlight • Historical Site

The harbour walls were built in the 1890’s to support the then prosperous fishing industry. The walls now have Grade II listed status and are owned by the National Trust along with some of the surrounding area. If you are there and want a touch of luxury or fine dining, try the Mullion Cove Hotel.

View of Kynance Cove

Highlight • Natural Monument

Linger on the grassy clifftop here to look down on the aquamarine waters of Kynance Cove. A great spot for photographers, but do be careful as it's a sheer drop.

Lizard Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lizard Point is the southernmost tip of Britain. A mild maritime climate and unique geology give the Lizard peninsula a distinctive character and make it ideal for rare and unusual flora. The cliffs surrounding Lizard Point are extremely rich in wildlife.

Lizard Lighthouse and Foghorn

Highlight • Monument

The building complex of this lighthouse consists of two white octagonal towers, between which a number of buildings have been erected. Only the 19 meter high eastern tower contains a light house. In this lantern room is an electric light source and a first order revolving catadioptric system with four lens panels and a focal length of 700 mm. This optical system generates a white flash every 3 seconds that is visible up to a distance of 26 nautical miles (about 48 km). The light is 70 meters above sea level. An electric fog horn on the tower gallery produces a tone every 30 seconds in poor visibility. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

View of Housel Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tucked away just behind Lizard Point is a stunning little beautiful bay called Housel Bay. At the base of steep, dark, winding cliffs you will find a small stretch of almost white sand with the clearest turquoise water imaginable.
The beach here is relatively sheltered, especially considering it is a stone's throw from the southernmost point of mainland Britain. The high cliffs provide plenty of shelter from the wind.

Lizard Wireless Station and Marconi Memorial

Church Cove

Highlight • Natural

This narrow little rocky cove between the cliffs on the east side of Lizard Point is a real gem. A number of quaint cottages lead up to the steep slope that is still used for launching small fishing boats.
At low tide there is sometimes a small patch of sand near the bottom of the slip, but this almost disappears when the tide comes in. However, there are plenty of places to settle down around the bay and take in the postcard environment.
For some reason, the water around this part of the Lizard is beautifully clear, making it great for snorkeling and diving. For those less adventurous, there are a number of rock pools and gullies to explore at the bottom of the slope.

The Devil's Frying Pan

Highlight • Natural Monument

When the roof of this cave collapsed it left behind an impressive stone arch and 330 foot (100 m) deep hole. Depending on the weather conditions, you may see a calm pool of water or, if you are lucky, a bubbling sea that resembles a large frying pan cooking up a devilish dish.

Cadgwith

Highlight • Settlement

Cadgwith is a small fishing village forgotten by the 21st century, situated on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Fishermen still push their boats up the beach to catch shellfish and wet fish when the weather permits.

July 18, 2024,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Kynance Cove und Lizard Point

The coastal path went from Poldhu along turquoise bays to the picturesque Kynave Cove.
The path to Lizard Point, the southernmost point of England, was heavily visited by tourists. Then it became quieter again and we walked through Cadgwith back to Kuggar.
The bus is extremely cheap. We only paid 2 pounds.
