The Lizard is well known for its abundance of pictoresque fishing coves & stunning coastal path, very close to the picturesque Helford river and the hidden away tiny hamlets that make this a unique destination. It is an oasis of peace, quiet and bird song.
The magical Lizard Peninsula, a designated Area of Outstanding Natual Beauty is quite unspoilt with huge areas managed by The National Trust and Natural England and virtually the entire coastline being sites of Special Scientific Interest for the geology, flora or fauna. The scenery is stunning whether touring by car,striking out around the coastal path or a more gentle stroll around one of the many circular routes you can find in the walk books and O.S. maps . Explore the sandy beaches, meandering river estuaries, cliff top vistas and fishing coves. Marvel at the fantastic geological structure of the land, the rare species of flowers & insects and birdlife in the area. Surf, sail, kayak, fish or dive-whatever takes your fancy. Horse ride, windsurf or play golf-all within a short distance. Visit the art galleries, potteries, craft workshops, museums and attractions we can recommend. There are gardens at Trebah, Glendurgan, Bosahan and Bonython and a plethora of well stocked garden centres to browse. A little further afield you will find Trengwainton, Trerice, Lanhydrock, Trewidden, Heligan and The Eden Project.
