Lizard
Standing proudly at the most southerly point of mainland Britain, Lizard Lighthouse has been a beacon of safety since 1752. Rebuilt and modernised over the centuries, it remains an essential aid to navigation for ships rounding this dramatic headland. Today, six former keepers’ cottages have been converted into welcoming holiday homes. Set within the lighthouse complex, they offer unrivalled sea views and a truly unique coastal setting. Guests can explore the rugged beauty of the Lizard Peninsula, famous for its wildflower-strewn cliffs, hidden coves, and rare geology. The South West Coast Path passes close by, providing endless opportunities for walking and wildlife spotting, while nearby villages such as Lizard and Cadgwith offer pubs, cafés, and local produce. A stay at Lizard Lighthouse offers the perfect blend of maritime heritage, dramatic scenery, and the comfort of a Cornish retreat.
