 Lizard Lighthouse | Lizard and Land's End Peninsulas The most southerly point in Britain, the Lizard, with its turbulent seas, treacherous reefs and towering cliffs, has an unusual quality which sets it apart from the rest of Cornwall. Yet, with its unique flora, tiny fishing villages and fascinating caves and coves, this quiet corner is ideal for the visitor who appreciates untamed natural beauty. Land’s End Peninsula has equally magnificent cliffs and turbulent seas, but is very different in character to the Lizard. Here, granite moorland meets the sea: an ancient haunting landscape of small, rocky fields, isolated farms and hamlets and an extraordinary wealth of archaelogical remains. |
|  |  zennor | Zennor A delightful village whose name comes from the Celtic ‘Saint Senara’ who was thought to have been of Breton origin. It is the gateway to the high rocky bastion of Zennor Head, one of the Trust’s most impressive coastal properties, which was given to the Trust by Mr Alec Brooke in 1954. There is a handsome 12th century church in the village, and a charming pub whose name, The Tinners’ Arms, reflects the mining tradition of the area. The nearest shops are in St. Ives (5 miles) and Penzance (6 miles) and the nearest accessible beaches are at St. Ives, Penzance and Pendeen (all about 6 miles). |
