The Lizard

We took advantage of a  deal in the local newspaper and had three days holiday from 12 -15 April  in West Cornwall where we were able to walk parts of the South West Coast Path we cannot easily reach from Plymouth. 

On our way down to Mullion, where we were staying we stopped at Trelissik Gardens and walked around the estuary there.




We then drove on to the Lizard, right to the Point.  The first thing I noticed that whereas at Trelissick bluebells were only out singularly, here they were in flower in clumps.

First  we walked towards the west to Portreath Beach.













We then walked back  and stopped for an ice cream at Lizard Point.  As we ate this we saw 2 choughs fly around and a kestrel hovering and then swooping down to catch something. 


    

We then walked on to Housel Bay.

On route to Housel Bay.

After our evening meal we drove down to Mullion Cove, but we were not over impressed with this harbour.
