In association with Trinity House, Cornwall Hideaways are pleased to present Lizard Lighthouse. Located on the Southern-most tip of mainland Britain, the six adjacent cottages of Lizard Lighthouse present guests with dazzling scenery and coastal walks right on the doorstep. Rare and beautiful flora and fauna make this cliff top location particularly special. The nearby Lizard Village provides shops, restaurants and a friendly pub only a short ¼ mile distance away.
Lizard Lighthouse is a fully working lighthouse, first established in 1619. The distinctive two white towers that it is known for today were built in 1751 by private entrepreneur Thomas Fonnereau, and first lit on 22 August that year. Trinity House gained control of the lights in 1771 and continues to look after its operation to this day. It became electrified in 1924 and then fully automated in 1998. It has a 26 mile light range and an automatic 3 mile fog signal if conditions are misty.
Also available to book at this site are: Bishop Rock, Godrevy, Round Island, Sevenstones and Wolf Rock.

Lovely cottage, with beautiful views of the ocean and the tankers on their way back and forth. We did some lovely coastal path walking Lizard to Kynane Bay. We walked in the sun and the fog - toot toot!! Lizard is lovely - The Witches Ball does wonderful musscles.

If you are here on NYE be sure to go to look at Fire House at the Housel Bay Hotel! Get out on the cliff path and blow the cobwebs away. Walk into town and leave the car here. The lighthouse tour well worth doing, long may the current lamp stay in use. Good bye Longships - see you again.
