Boasting some of the most scenic and beautiful works to be found in the south west together with contrasting rugged coastline and atmospheric sheltered wooded creeks, numerous enchanting and unspoilt fishing villages – the Lizard Peninsula is much loved, visited and often mentioned by many literary, poetic and artistic figures which include AA Milne, Compton McKenzie, JM Barry and Arthur Conan Doyle.

It really is a lovely walk in springtime or indeed summer when the grassland is bright with many different wild flowers. Equally though, in the autumn when the bushes are full of migrant birds such as Pipit, Warblers and Buntings. Although reserved for the most hardcore walkers, the winter months bring with it perhaps, some of the most breathtaking views and experiences to be had when walking along the South West Coast Path. Along the three sides of the Lizard there are many fascinating features for all ages, including the lighthouse and lifeboat station, the Marconi wireless museum the walk equally allows you to visit the hidden beach at Housel Bay. Look out for seals and choughs!
