Self-catering holidays and Holiday cottages on the Lizard Peninsula

Local info

The Lizard Peninsula is Cornwall's most southerly area, with dramatic cliffs, sheltered coves and rare serpentine rock found almost nowhere else in Britain. Holiday cottages and parks across the Lizard offer a peaceful coastal break, with Lizard Point, mainland Britain's most southerly point, at the tip.

Highlights include Kynance Cove, the fishing villages of Cadgwith and Coverack, Mullion Cove and the Helford River on the northern side. The coast path circles the whole peninsula, and Helston, Porthleven and Falmouth are close by. Book direct with the owners listed here.
