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.
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.

The Lizard guidebook
Just what I wanted to inspire me over the winter, encourage me to come to the Lizard, and plan my trip next year.

Very Happy
We were staying at a wonderful small hotel in Penzance called Chapel House. In the bedrooms they have a copy of the Friendly Guides for the far west side of Cornwall ... we took the recommendation of a magnificent circular walk from Zennor over country fields returning along a breathtaking coastal route. When friends managed to secure a last minute booking in the Lizard I immediately thought of ordering a copy of the Friendly Guides and their pocket book guides for that area. The service was both extremely efficient and honest ... unprompted they reimbursed me for the postal costs covering both orders ... I highly recommend their products and their efficient and honest service ... Thank You
