The Lizard Peninsula in West Cornwall, a video guide

The rare geology of The Lizard creates a haven for exceptional plants and flowers. Around the coastline you’ll find little fishing ports with huge granite sea walls to protect from the Atlantic gales. Stand right on the tip of the Lizard and look out to sea. At 49°57’ N, the most southerly point on the UK’s mainland, watch the waves as they hurtle to the shore and imagine the thousands of ships that have passed by this treacherous part of the coast on their way across the Atlantic.
