☀️ At the southernmost point of mainland Britain, Lizard Point is one of Cornwall’s most dramatic coastal locations.
Standing proudly on the headland is Lizard Lighthouse, first established in 1752 to help guide ships safely through the hazardous waters surrounding the peninsula. The area has long been notorious for shipwrecks, with powerful currents, hidden reefs such as the Manacles, and frequent fog creating dangerous conditions for mariners. The current lighthouse, operated by Trinity House, remains an important navigational aid and is a familiar landmark for visitors exploring the South West Coast Path.
