The Lizard Coastal Walk

Traces 9.7km of Cornwall's dramatic southernmost cliffs with steep, rocky sections and uneven coastal paths—definitely not buggy-friendly and requires supervision for young children. Dogs welcome on leads near cliff edges and livestock. Rewards with stunning views of rugged coves, the lighthouse at Britain's most southerly point, and wildflower-rich heathland. Allow 3-4 hours and bring proper footwear for the challenging terrain.

The Lizard coastal walk, Lizard Point

Follows dramatic clifftop paths around mainland Britain's most southerly point with moderate but frequent ups and downs. The rugged coastal terrain isn't suitable for buggies or very young children, though adventurous families with older kids will love the dramatic Atlantic views, hidden coves, and lighthouse. Dogs welcome on leads near cliff edges. Spectacular geology, rare wildflowers in season, and the thrill of standing at the country's southern tip make this a classic Cornish coastal walk.

Lizard Point walk: the most southerly place in Britain, Lizard Point

Follows gentle coastal paths to mainland Britain's most southerly point, offering dramatic clifftop views and rugged granite scenery. Mostly flat with some uneven rocky sections, manageable for older children (8+) but not suitable for buggies due to coastal terrain. Dogs welcome year-round. Worth it for the bragging rights, stunning Atlantic vistas, and spotting seals or basking sharks from the lighthouse viewpoint.
