Interesting facts about this location
Lizard Lighthouse
The Lizard Lighthouse is a lighthouse at Lizard Point in Cornwall, United Kingdom, built to guide vessels passing through the English Channel. A light was first exhibited here in 1619, built thanks to the efforts of Sir John Killigrew, but it was extinguished and the tower demolished in 1630 because of difficulties in raising funds for its operation and maintenance. The current lighthouse, consisting of two towers with cottages between them, was built in 1751.
