The Lizard Peninsula – Relax & Explore

As England’s most southerly peninsula, the Lizard is a very special place. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it has not been allowed to over-develop, and you will still find many tranquil, peaceful and unspoilt places to escape for a while.

Below the hotel, Mullion Cove is a tiny working harbour cared for by the National Trust. Sandy Polurrian and Poldhu are just to the north, with the Marconi monument on the cliffs at Poldhu, and the famous turquoise water of Kynance Cove and Lizard Point are a short drive south.

Sunset over Mullion Island from the cliffs at Mullion Cove

Further afield are the fishing villages of Coverack and Cadgwith, Goonhilly Downs, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary at Gweek, the gardens of the Helford River, Porthleven harbour, and Falmouth, St Ives and Land’s End.
