The Lizard Cornwall's Magical Peninsula Is A Must For Visitors Says Hotel Cornwall

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 05, 2012 ) London, UK -- The Lizard Cornwall isn’t just a reptile with scales, it’s also a peninsula found in south Cornwall! Measuring approximately 14 miles by 14 miles, it’s situated southwest of Falmouth and east of Penzance and the pretty Lizard village is the most southerly village on the British mainland.

A slice of the Earth’s mantle-crust boundary was pushed onto the bed of an ancient sea over 350 million years ago, which eventually formed the rocks of the Lizard we see today. Almost an island, the peninsula is girded on three sides by the sea and the fourth by the waters of the Helford river.

Visitors to the area can explore everything from beautiful sandy beaches to mesmerising cliff tops, calming rivers and pebbly coves. The great thing is that come rain or shine, there are plenty of things to keep everyone occupied.

Take a boat trip from one of the destination’s traditional fishing coves, enjoy a meal in one of Lizard’s popular eateries or travel on horseback and discover the beautiful scenery.

Offering a fascinating experience for the whole family, Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station is well worth a look. See a huge satellite dish up close, play in the xbox play zone and even discover alien life forms in the new SETI display and film show.

With some of the best family rides in Cornwall, The Flambards Experience is the perfect day out for the kids. Appealing to all ages, the famous Victorian Village portrays ‘Britain in the Blitz’ also makes for an interesting day out.

Animal lovers should check out The National Seal Sanctuary and The Marconi Centre at Poldhu accommodates a telecommunications exhibition to mark the site in 1901 where the first wireless radio message was sent to Canada.

Boasting a variety of beaches, coves and harbours, the Lizard Peninsula is rich in history. Once known as the ‘Graveyard of Ships’, The Lizard’s coast is extremely hazardous to ships. The west coast’s sandy beaches face the full force of the Atlantic, but look to the east to spot sheltered fishing villages.

Home to some of the UK’s rarest flora and fauna (many of which have adapted over the years to flourish in the unique conditions), The Lizard offers some rare opportunities and days out. But it’s the area’s beaches which are the real draw. A hotspot for locals and tourists, its moderate climate makes Lizard one of the warmest destinations in Britain, making it ideal for lazing on one of the many golden, sandy beaches.

The atmosphere is laid-back and casual, but this is not the average tourist haven. A charming fishing community with a lovely beach at the centre, Cadgwith Cove allows visitors to watch its many crabbing boars, swim or dive or visit the nearby café and shop.
