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.

Cadgwith and Inglewidden
At the end of a steep winding lane lies the tiny fishing village of Cadgwith, where thatched cottages cluster around a beach scattered with colourful crab and lobster boats. A little to the south is the spectacular Devil’s Frying Pan, a huge cliff basin caused by the collapse of a cavern roof, but still leaving an arch of harder rock through which the surging waters can be seen. Covering the cliff face is a small wood of elm trees, kept stunted by the wind. At Inglewidden, high on the cliffs between the village and the Frying Pan, the Trust has converted a collection of farm buildings into comfortable holiday accommodation. There is a popular pub in Cadgwith and a small shop; more all-year-round shopping is available at Ruan Minor, a mile inland; The Lizard four miles away; Mullion five and a half miles away and Helston ten miles away. The small beach at Cadgwith is sandy at low tide and rocky at high tide. The nearest large sandy beach is at Kennack Sands, within two and a half miles.
