LIZARD POINT, or THE LIZARD

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 827 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LIZARD POINT, or THE LIZARD , the southernmost point of
Great
  Britain, in
Cornwall
 , England, in 49 57' 30" N., 50 12' W. It is generally the first British land sighted by ships bound up the
English Channel, and there are two lighthouses on it. The cliff scenery is magnificent, and attracts many visitors. The
coast
  is fretted into several small bays, such as Housel and, most famous of all, Kynance
Cove
 ; caves pierce the cliffs at many points, and bold isolated rocks fringe the shore. The coloured veining of the serpentine
rock
  is a remarkable feature. The Lion's Den is a chasm formed by the falling in of a sea-cave in 1847; the Stags is a dangerous reef stretching southward from the point, and at Asparagus
Island
 , Kynance
Cove
 , is a natural funnel in which the air is compressed by the waves and causes a violent ejection of foam. The
principal
 
village
  is Lizard Town, Io2 m. from
Helston
 , the nearest railway station.
