In the first part of this guidebook we look at the origin of the Lizard peninsula's remarkable rocks and at the unusual habitats associated with them and then guide you to the famous beauty spots like Lizard Point, Kynance and Mullion as well as the less visited places like Goonhilly and Predannack Downs.
This is a great update to the Lizard guide and a great addition to the Friendly Collection, all of which give lots of useful and interesting information, maps, and suggestions of walks and places to visit. All beautifully presented in a compact little book and efficiently and speedily despatched. Thank you Friendly Guides!

Mullion
Excellent guide. Have already walked around the Lizard coast for last 10 years. Didn't realise there were walks through the central areas. Bought this book after buying the guide on the Helford River from Trebah Gardens.

One of the books in the best series currently in print.
All aspects of information seems to have been included: geology; flora&fauna; climate, history; parking; &things to do according to age group.The maps are very clear&with writing of a decent size.I highly recommend it.

Wish there were more guides like this
I am a great fan of the Friendly guides. I have them all. They are not only very helpful when you are actually on holiday in Cornwall. They are interesting to read any time of the year - just for fun.
