Caunce Head is a 300 year old  traditional  stone house perched high on the top and set back from Mullion Cliffs south of Mullion Cove surrounded by beautiful countryside and a National Nature Reserve cared for by English Nature.
Right on the doorstep are wonderful walks, the coastal path (500m from the front door),  Mullion Cove, exquisite coves and beaches and Mullion Island, a wonderful bird sanctuary, is just off the coast below our nearest cliffs.  To search for aerial  photographs the postcode is TR12 7HA.

The Lizard Peninsula is a truly unspoiled corner of Cornwall. The rugged coastline, dotted with tiny fishing villages and perfect sandy coves, is broken by deeply wooded valleys and the secret splendour of the Helford River - made famous by Daphne du Maurier in the novel "Frenchman`s Creek". It is minutes away by car and easily accessible to walkers. Nationally recognised for rare Fauna and Flora, the area is perfect at any time of the year.

Mullion Village and the surrounding area has a good selection of restaurants and pubs as well as a range of interesting shops. The little fishing harbour at Mullion  with views of the spectacular coastline is perfect in itself.

For those who can bear to leave the peninsula, the whole of West Penwith, St. Michael's Mount. Lands End, St Ives, Truro and Falmouth can be reached in less than an hour.

Garden enthusiasts will know that spring is the ideal time to visit Heligan, Trebah or Trevano - beautiful all year - they surpass themselves between April and June. Don't forget though, January and February is the time for Camellias and Daffodils in Cornwall!

The Lizard Peninsula is a walkers paradise with the coastal path and inland walks, gardens, creeks and woodland all within easy reach.
