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!

Brilliant and free! My 7 year old loved the pumpkin quiz and the toy section. The wedding dresses and old medicines were also great. We had a lovely morning looking around and the staff were lovely and friendly too. A huge plus was that it is dog friendly.

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.

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.

What could be better than hiking, birdwatching or biking through the romantic and rugged Cornwall countryside?
Quaint harbour on the SW coast path allows for great walking. Ignore the big car park for £3 all day on the left (as you drop down from Mullion village) as around the corner is a smaller one asking for a £1 donation with funds going back into the community - how wonderful! Was fabulous on a windy day to see the might of the sea against the cliffs and harbour wall, although some people got too close and quite wet (luckily not us!).

Some people believe that King Arthur abandoned his sword Excalibur in Loe Pool, Cornwall's largest natural body of freshwater.
We visited on a quiet winters morning, parked in the national trust car park. It was a lovely walk down the hill to the lake, the stables were closed as it is out of season, yet we had some sandwiches with us and found a beautiful spot with a bench overlooking the lake, so peaceful and great for watching all the wildlife on the lake, could have spent hours there, will definitely return for another visit
