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.
The Friendly Guides to West Cornwall are an amazing resource. The maps are a work of art and bring the coastal countryside to life.

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.
