Lizard Point (from Cornish an Lysardh, meaning 'the high court') is at the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula
The first sighting of the Spanish Armada on mainland Britain was off Lizard Point at 3 pm on 29 July 1588. This was one of the greatest invasion fleets in history and consisted of 120 ships armed with over 1,000 cannon and with 29,000 men on board.
With spectacular views towards Kynance Cove its a great area to spend some time sitting down and taking in the scene.
