Two Peninsulas
This itinerary takes in two of Cornwall's most picturesque peninsulas, the Lizard and the
Roseland. Start in
Penzance
and head round Mount's Bay to
Marazion
, where you catch a
boat or walk along the causeway to the island abbey of
St Michael's Mount
. Alternatively,
continue on to the harbour of
Porthleven
, where you'll find several excellent restaurants.
Then it's onto the Lizard, a wild, empty peninsula known for its wildlife and treacherous
coastline. Stop to see the iconic view of
Kynance Cove
before exploring the headland at
Lizard Point
and the thatched village of
Cadgwith
. Try homemade ice cream at Roskilly's
Farm near
St Keverne
, then head along the Helford River to
Gweek
and its seal-rescue
sanctuary.
