 | Rough seas at Lizard Point |
 | There have been lighthouses at the Lizard, the most southerly point in mainland England, since 1619. Oil lighting was installed in 1812, a foghorn was added in 1840, electric arc-lights in 1878 and a single beam in 1903, the most powerful in the world at the time. Today's light of 15 million candle power is visible over 20 miles away. |
 | Housel Cove |
 | Looking towards Lizard lighthouse with Lion's Den, extreme left. Originally a sea cave, it collapsed in 1847, leaving this deep chasm and archway. |
 | The hut used by Marconi for his pioneer work in wireless telegraphy. |
 | Commemmorative plaque to Marconi. |
 | Lloyd's Signal Station. The original station was built in1872 by a firm of shipping agents in Falmouth to signal news of the arrival of incoming ships. The present building dates from 1954 but is no longer in use. |
 | Kilcobben lifeboat station was opened in 1961 to replace the two former stations at the Lizard and Cadgwith. Plaques record that the Cadgwith boat had saved nearly 400 lives in 80 rescues and, the Lizard lifeboat about 600 - more than any other station in Cornwall. |
 | Thatched cottage in Church Cove. |
 | And another - Menna and Gerry walking by. |
