The southernmost point of mainland Great Britain. Below the cliffs, the old lifeboat station is preserved, the lighthouse can be visited, and seals and Cornish choughs are often seen.
Lizard Point is the southernmost point of Great Britain. On the cliff top are a National Trust café and a viewing platform, and below at Polpeor Cove, the old lifeboat launch slipway is preserved. The nearby Lizard Lighthouse Heritage Centre can be visited, and climbing the tower is possible seasonally. Serpentine stone crafts are a local specialty. From Kennack Sands, it is about an hour's walk along the coast path, with spectacular scenery along the way.
