Lizard

The Lizard (Cornish: An Lysardh) is a peninsula in West Cornwall in the South West. The name may be derived from the Cornish expression Lys Ardh, which means "High Court". The Lizard contains Britain's most southerly point, the Lizard Point.

By plane
Aer Lingus, British Airways, Loganair, Ryanair and Scilly Skybus all operate flights to Newquay. Car hire is available at the airport.

By bus
Transport for Cornwall operate an hourly service (#34) between Helston and Lizard town, serving at Mullion en-route. Other than this, public transport on the Lizard is basic at best, and it's strongly reccomended to have your own transport in order to make the most of your visit. From Helston there are connecting services available to other towns in western Cornwall, including Falmouth (England), Penzance and Redruth, where connections can be made to the rail network.

By train
There are train stations in Penzance, Truro and Redruth with direct connections to London Paddington and West England, and there is a branch line to Falmouth Docks. However, none are terribly convenient for the Lizard. You'll need to get a bus from Falmouth to Helston, then change to another bus to get to the Lizard.
