The Lizard

The Lizard peninsula has an inspiring sense of isolation - surrounded on three sides by the sea, you really do feel you've found the edge of the world here. The Lizard village stands at the most southerly point in England and is the ideal starting place for a walk around the wild Lizard coastline, which is dotted by stunning, deserted coves. It's said that the best Cornish pasties in the county come from the Lizard Pasty Shop; they are so popular that during the summer you need to order in advance.
