Visit The lizard on your Holiday in Cornwall

Book your camping holidays in Cornwall at Perran Springs Holiday Park and visit The
Lizard, a windswept headland of craggy cliff scenery, scattered with small fishing villages
and coves. One of these is Kynance Cove, a small beach which is loved by locals and visitors
alike.

The Lizard’s name is derived from ‘lis’ meaning ‘place’ and ‘ard’ meaning 'high’ and this
description refers to whole peninsula. Lizard Point is England’s most southerly point and is
famous for its lighthouse, the first one to be built in Cornwall in 1619.

Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station sits within the peninsula on the serpentine rock which
occurs throughout the area.

Nearby is the town of Helston which is home to RNAS Culdrose Air Base and the tourist
Attraction Flambards Theme Park, which always proves to be a children’s favourite. Helston
has been made famous for the Flora Day which is held just once a year.
