The old, historic lighthouse at Lizard Point in Cornwall began operating in 1752 and marks the southernmost point of the continental part of Great Britain. In 1998, the lighthouse was automated but still retains many historical features. The Lizard Lighthouse is the second oldest operational lighthouse in the UK. The building is listed as a Grade II historic monument. Unfortunately, we couldn't peek inside as it's only open on specific days, but it's worth visiting because the exterior is also incredibly interesting. Along the path from Lizard Point to the Lizard Lighthouse, there are spectacular views.

A really fascinating place to visit. The visitor centre is great and has lots of interactive displays. The tour guide was amazing. So friendly, funny and informative and obviously has a great passion for the place. The tour up is not too many steps but the last flight is very steep but still manageable. It was so interesting to get right up close to the light. And amazing views. An unexpected highlight of our day.

Absolutely perfect time at this wonderful location!..highly recommend this for an interesting and informative visit. Firstly a tour of the museum and then a guided tour up the lighthouse itself via the fog horns and properties attached to the lighthouse. Extremely informative guide and stunning views from the top of the lighthouse. Disability access not possible in the lighthouse itself (depending on disability of course) as access to the top is via narrow stairs and the last part is a ladder…small gift shop no cafe however hot drink machine inside gift shop. No toilets at the lighthouse they are located in the National Trust car park which is the only available parking for this attraction….maybe 10 minutes at the most on foot to the lighthouse from car park. Suitable footwear required for obvious reasons

Well. Where to start... we stayed in the Lizard lighthouse cottages. Amazing. Well appointed clean and highly recommended. There are multiple let’s, we had the “disused” tower, brilliant up there in a storm! The visitors centre was excellent and we were lucky to get on the tour of the working side of the lighthouse. The views were amazing and good local pubs and people. Also lucky to see the Lifeboat training with the local Coastguard Helicopter. Be warned though. This is an operational lighthouse, that’s been keeping mariners safe for many years. It has a fog horn. It goes off when required. I loved it but the wife was less enthused. Ear plugs are provided!

Lovely visit to the lizard lighthouse and museum. Lorraine the tour guide was great. She has a great personality, with great respect, and very informative about the history and the people who lived and worked at the lighthouse. The lighthouse itself is fascinating. Great views from the top. Be warned the last set of stairs to the light are steep

Beautiful place. Friendly staff. Interesting inside to see the workings and importance of the lighthouse and its history. Great gift shop with some beautiful local gifts to buy. Stunning views.

It was fabulous having a guided tour of this lighthouse, seeing all of the old areas and being told about how they worked! The museum section was also interesting, showing a lot about the history of lighthouses and the staff were all friendly.

Great day out, lovely staff full of information, great experience for young and old. Our tour guide was full of knowledge and lovely.

Great tourguide, beautiful engineering and stunning views.

Absolutely loved it. Our tour guide was fabulous and she had a great sense of humour and knowledge Stunning lighthouse

We love this place. One of the last lighthouses that uses the old rotating lenses and that does daily tours. Well worth the fee to look around.

Nice place to visit. Beautiful lighthouse

Great place to take photos of a rising full moon at the right time of the year 🤟

It was interesting to see the huge lighthouse light up close as well as the massive foghorns.

Such a shame the lighthouse is closed at the moment but still a beautiful spot to visit and photograph this wild part of the coast. Take change for the car park, signal for Pay by Phone is patchy. You can walk along the coastal path although steep and not accessible for pushchairs/wheelchairs.
