Sketches at the Lizard, 1881. '1. The Lizard Head. 2. Lloyd's Signal Station. 3. The Lizard Lights. 4. Kynance Cove. The most southerly point of the English Coast is the Lizard, eleven miles from the town of Helston, and more than sixteen miles from Falmouth, at the extremity of the Manaccan peninsula of Cornwall. There is a small village called Lizard Town, from which it is a short walk to Lizard Head, the rocky promontory shown in one of our Sketches...Two or three miles westward of the Lizard is one of the most beautiful places on this coast, known as Kynance Cove. Its beach of soft yellow sand, the gorgeous cliffs of variegated serpentine, green, purple, crimson, and black, the deep caverns and pools, the scattered boulders of different kinds of stone, and the intense greenness of the sea have the effect of a fairy scene. We cannot, unfortunately, in our Engraving, represent these effects of colour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
