Wonderful watching the waves roll over at low tide the rocks. Seemed a little old fashioned and victiorian at the point but the village was a surprise, very much for the tourist. Choose what you like before you go and plan your day on what appeals More

Lovely villages like Coverack, Cadgewith etc. Goohhilly and the Marconi Centre at Polhdu are well worth a visit. And a pint in the Blue Anchor, Helston is not to be missed!!! More

Visited on January 21st 2012 and were totally delighted with the views from the Lizard Point. Weather was a little peculiar in the sense that it was remarkably warm despite some very strong winds. The coastal walks are definately recommended and take a camera as the cliffs are spectacular. More

Nice place to visit with excellent scenery and views but choose a sunny day. Quite unspoiled but with a cafe and toilets. Car park near the end and extra parking in the village. The walk from the village was quite easy but a fair distance on a hill. Worthwhile for the views and the other footpaths across to the Marconi... More

We parked up Lizard village and trotted off down the field to the coastal path. Once on the coastal path the views are amazing and well worth the walk, after turning right we headed for the Lizard Peninsula which is about a mile walk. Along the path there are many view points where you can sit on the cliff top... More
