The Lizard is mainland Britain’s most southerly point, a dramatic peninsula of serpentine cliffs, hidden coves and the iconic red and white striped lighthouse that has warned ships off this stretch of coast for centuries.

Beyond the lighthouse, the area offers some of Cornwall’s wildest coast path walking, along with fishing villages like Cadgwith and Coverack, rare heathland wildlife, and a genuinely remote feel that few other parts of the county can match.

This page brings together everything we cover in The Lizard, with detailed guides below to the best beaches, walks, places to eat and stay, and things to do in the area.
