Britain's most southerly point - a bleak and dramatic place. But whilst you will have to pay a fee to go to Land's End, Lizard Point is actually further south and you can park and look straight out over the sea, with nothing to pay except a modest parking charge. Lizard Point is run by the National Trust, and consequently has almost none of the heavy commercial development seen at Lands End.
Lizard Point in Cornwall is at the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula. It is situated half-a-mile (800 m) south of Lizard village in the civil parish of Landewednack and about 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Helston.

One of the world's greatest satellite communication centres, located at Goonhilly downs. The site used to have a visitors centre, but this has been closed for some years, though there are on-again off-again plans to re-open it. However, the nature reserve that surrounds that site allows some good views of the dishes, as well as having some splendid, unspoilt natural beauty, and an ancient standing stone within site of the space-age facility.
Taste from a wide selection of ice cream flavours, explore the farm and visit the Bullpen gallery.
Essentially a few pools containing seals, although the cute baby ones on the promotional leaflet are only likely to be present during the baby season; but the older and more infirm seals who can't be released back into the wild are there all year round.
