Places to visit

South of Coverack a coastal path follows the line of Chynhalls Cliff. Chynhalls Cliff Castle is on Chynhalls Point and is formed by two earthen banks built across the promontory with a ditch between. Cliff castles date from the middle of the Iron Ages around 500 BC. Chynhalls Point is accessed from the coastal path from Coverack. However, it is also possible to walk along the coast from Kennack Sands, a route which passes close to Lankidden cliff castle.

Lizard is a village on the peninsula of the same name and is south west from Coverack and Kuggar and about ten miles south of Helston along the A3083. The name comes from the Cornish for place 'lis' and high 'ard'. There is a large village green with a number of cafes and gift shops. The parish church is dedicated to St Winwallow and is in Landewednack on the outskirts of Lizard village. A Grade 1 listed building it was founded around 600 AD and the oldest part of the present building is a twelfth century Norman doorway. Thirteenth century restoration saw the porch added and in the fifteenth century a new window in the tower.

Mullion (Eglosvelyan) is a village north from Lizard along the A3083 and west on the B3296 at Penhale. The Village acts as an important amenity centre on the Peninsula and is popular for visitors. Mullion Cove is a sheltered harbour one mile south of Mullion with Mullin Island, an uninhabited island offshore from the Cove which is important for birdlife.

Helston/Henllys is a town north from Lizard along the A3083 about nine miles west of Falmouth and is at the north end of the Lizard Peninsula. The town is the location for the annual Furry Dance (Flora Dance) which is thought to have its roots in medieval times. Helston, on the River Cober, was an inland port but was then isolated from the sea by a sand bar, which created the large fresh water lake known as Loe Pool. Within the town is Helston Folk Museum which provides information in regard to the social and industrial history of the area. The Flambart Experience is a theme park to the south of the town and the Poldark Mine in Wendron gives an experience of the life and workings of the old tin mine that existed there.
