 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. |
|  |  Frenchman's Creek, Helford and Manaccan | Frenchman's Creek, Helford and Manaccan Frenchman's Creek, a secluded tidal inlet on the south bank of the Helford River, is forever associated with Daphne du Maurier's story of pirates and romance. Thickly wooded banks enclose the long narrow creek, muffling all sounds but birdsong and giving it the air of a hidden, secretive place.
The Helford River is a very special place. Beautiful winding, wooded creeks probe deep into the surrounding hills. The nearest Trust properties are Glendurgan Garden, Trengwainton Garden, and Kynance Cove. |
