Lizard Lighthouse, Lizard

Lizard Lighthouse is positioned at the Southern-most tip of mainland Britain.

Rare birds, rare flowers and even the occasional school of dolphins can be spotted from the cliff tops surrounding the accommodation, yet you are just a ¼ mile from Lizard village with its friendly pub, shops and restaurants.

The working lighthouse was established in 1619, with the current towers being built in 1752. In 1924 it became the first electrically powered lighthouse before being fully automated in 1998 with a 26 mile light range and an automatic 3 mile fog signal if conditions are misty.

The on-site visitor centre provides tours of the working lighthouse and an opportunity to learn about the work of Trinity House.
