First we visited Lizard Point with its stunning views, then we drove on to the beautiful Kynance Cove. Our holiday had taken on a bit of a Poldark theme and it’s clear to see why this stunning place was chosen for coastal beach scenes for the series. It was late afternoon by the time we visited so the car park was relatively empty. Being National Trust members, you just simply scan your card and parking is free. Annoyingly the tide times had been rubbed off of the public notice board so we took a chance and walked down the shorter path (which I agree some may consider quite steep and challenging), and luckily found we could still get down on to the beach this way. The views were amazing and we spent lots of time watching the crashing waves starting to reclaim the beach and climbing and walking along the cliff top watching the tide coming in from all angles. The colour of the sea and the sky at this time of day was simply breathtaking. It seemed we had timed our visit perfectly as the beach was rather empty, apart from the occasional nutter braving the waves resulting in a unnecessary visit from the life boat services. A trip here really blew the cobwebs away and made us realise how beautiful our coastline really is! We made memories that day that I will cherish forever. I’m not sure I’d have been so keen on a visit on the overcrowded summer days that other people describe though! I think it depends on what you want from a beach. I’m less about the bucket and spades and more about the breath taking views and the walking!
3. South West Coast Path Walk- Mullion Cove to Lizard Point & Village
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 171 reviews
This 7 mile moderate walk along the South West Coast Path is from the picturesque Mullion Cove, along the wild and exposed cliffs of the west coast of the Lizard Peninsula. Pass beautiful sheltered coves, including Kynance Cove, before reaching Lizard Point, the southernmost point of mainland Britain.

Mullion cove is great for a days activity. Great for kayaking around the clear waters and rocky coves. Safe for swimming and jumping off the harbour walls on high tide. Small cafe available with nice ice creams. Great fun for all and safe for kids.

This Cornish church was a personal must do. It is beautiful church that generations of my family had frequented before they came to NZ and Australia in the 1940s. I wish that I knew more about them and which graves were my direct ancestors. Inside the church I gazed at the frescoes and the helmets that generations before had seen. What a perfect church.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution All-weather Lifeboat Station which houses a heritage centre, Tamar class lifeboat and souvenir shop. Located 200 feet over a cliff nestling in the scenic Kilcobben Cove. Access is gained by over 150 steps or a funicular railway, by prior arrangement.

After our disappointing visit to lands end the Lizard was literally a breath of fresh air. Parking was easy (national trust) £1'00. Views fantastic. Seals on the rocks lovely walk along the cliff past the lighthouse to the Lions Den. The old lifeboat station a reminder of the bravery of these volunteers to help all in peril on the sea. The most southern part of the UK still presenting a friendly face towards our continental siblings.

Roskilly’s are based at Tregellast Barton Farm on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. We are a family run business milking 125 Jersey cows. Our small pastures have been farmed in a traditional and sustainable way for generations, and we have always farmed without the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. All of our delicious ice creams and hand crafted fudges are made using rich organic Jersey milk and cream from our own herd of Jersey cows. We also produce a range of jams and chutneys using old family recipes that have been handed down the generations. Our Farm and Café, the Croust House, is open all year round serving meals every day from breakfast, fresh salads to clay oven baked pizzas’ and American style smoked meats (summer months only). You can visit and feed all the farm animals: calves, pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, geese & ducks. You can also go for a stroll around the ponds and withy woods and watch the milking at 10.00am

You get to see a working farm, watch milking and sample the product in the firm of ice cream- what more can you ask for! Chickens? Geese? Turkeys? Goats? Pigs? Yes they have them too and a lovely walk (bring wellies if it’s been raining!)
