In the far west of Cornwall, on the southern most tip of mainland Britain, is the unspoiled Lizard Peninsula.  It rises over 200 feet above the Atlantic and contains wooded valleys, small fields, ancient hedgerows, sheltered inlets and sandy coves. Its principal village is Mullion. Built around its 15th century church the village is steeped in history.  Now it is a thriving community with a good selection of small shops, restaurants, tea rooms and pubs.  It is the largest village in Cornwall with a population of over 2400.
