Lizard Point, Cornwall - This article is about Lizard Point in southern England. for other uses of the term, see Lizard Point
Lizard Point in Cornwall is the southernmost tip of The Lizard peninsula. It is the southermost tip of mainland Britain, at 47°57' N, and, with the exception of parts of the Isles of Scilly is the southernmost part of England. The tiny villages of Lizard and Landewednack are located one kilometre north of the point, but the nearest settlement of any substantial size is Helston, 18 kilometres to the north. Lizard Point is a notorious shipping hazard. The RNLI operate a funicular railway at Kilcobben Cove, three kilometres northwest of the point, enabling boats to traverse the steep cliffs, and there are foghorns and a distinctive double-towered lighthouse close to the point.
