and Brisk walk
The Lizard
is Britain's most southerly point! This unique part of Cornwall
cannot be "explored" in a day or a week or a life time.
It is a renewing, on going experience.
The southwest coastal path winds its way around the peninsula
providing exceptionally beautiful walks. The peninsula is full of
contrast - flat grassy paths wind along the cliff tops of Mullion
Cove, the breath taking views of Kynance Cove, along to the
dramatic cliffs of the Lizard point, while to the east, the
softer, greener landscape of the Helford river provides another
face of the is beautiful region.
Cycling
Bring your own bikes or we can arrange cycle hire at
preferable rates from a local shop "Cycle Logic". We
provide carefully planned routes, sharing our local knowledge of
the Lizard's hidden corners, for you to experience the beautiful
and varied scenery via country lanes and tracks. More officially
designated cycle paths such as the Carn Brea route, mineral
tramways trail and the Camel Trail are now opening up in Cornwall,
information is available on these. Storage and drying facilities
available. Golf
We have detailed information on several courses in our area.
Arrangements can be made for green fee reductions for Tregaddra
guests and we can book teeing off times in advance. Cornwall has
over 30 golf courses to choose from, only Scotland has more golf
courses per head of population! Storage and drying facilities are
available as well as early breakfasts, pack lunches and flask
filling. Mullion golf club is just 3 miles from Tregaddra,
situated between two beautiful coves on the cliffs. Mullion golf
course offers a warm welcome and a great days golf, although doom
in the form of a double-bogey is always lurking!
The Lizard
Things To Do Around the Lizard
The Lizard Peninsula naturally has a lot in common with the rest
of Cornwall: Celtic history and culture; a seafaring heritage; a
network of small communities, almost surrounded by sea. But it
also stands alone, in a very real sense, from the rest of the
county. In a line from London to Land�s End, the backbone of
Cornwall is a route to somewhere. The Lizard is not a crossroads,
it is not a junction or a passing place. It is a journey�s end,
a special place to visit that is literally "off the beaten
track". The Peninsula, looking on the map, almost physically
separate from the mainland, presents a rugged face to the
elements, standing proud in the sea.
Contrast this with the fact that it is the warmest place in the
country. The air is crisp, clean and clear, unpolluted by an
industry. Criss-crossed with intimate little country lanes, wild
open spaces, and unexpected natural delights around every corner,
the Lizard is like a cosy castle on three sides: dramatic cliffs
and rough coastline protecting a warm, soft interior against a
sometimes raging sea. (To be fair there are a few lovely sandy
beaches and some pretty good surfing). It is rich with history
too, with an abundance of colourful local stories adding that
extra dimension to each place you visit.
