Mullion to Lizard Point Day 12

Friday 25th of October - 15km shorter day which felt longer with the strong wind factor !

We set out on an incredibly windy day with a restless churned up sea. The weather forecast was rain clearing at 10am and then sunshine with strong winds all day. These winds blow up off the sea with quite a force over the cliffs. At times it was hard to walk in a straight line and it was even harder to take a photo with your camera because the wind shook the phone.

Between Mullion Cove and The Lizard the cliffs were spectacular, with attractive groups of rugged stacks, especially at Mullion Cove harbour and also Kynance Cove further along.

The strong winds made the Atlantic waves wilder than usual. The size of the waves was huge and they put on quite a performance for us along the way. Kynance Cove was a famous location where British films have been made like Game of Thrones. It was quite a dramatic coastline here.

As we left Kynance Cove we scaled the cliff tops again to discover a small cove where the action of the waves thundering in to the shore, made sea foam which then blew up towards us on the cliff tops. It was very light and fluffy, almost like snow !!

Lizard point is mainland Britain’s most southerly point and it overlooks one of the business shipping lanes in the world. We enjoyed a reprieve from the strong winds with a cup of tea in a sweet little cabin cafe, at Lizard Point.

Tonight we are staying in the quaint and quiet village of Lizard in a beautiful BnB. It’s a lovely two story home. We’ve been advised to go to the local pub called Witchball as this is where the friendly locals love to hang on a Friday night.

We ended up dining at a cafe called Coast. It was just up the narrow windy street from the pub. We both decided on the special - sausages and mash. It was perfect on a cold autumn night.
Back home to our flash BnB to watch a couple of episodes of Falty Towers on our iPad 😂Read more
