We were at the Lizard Village on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula.
The plan was to walk from here to visit the Lizard Lighthouse Heritage Centre. It is only about a mile and a half walk across green fields.
Some interesting clouds about as we started our short walk.
We met a young couple, on the way, who told us that the Lizard Heritage Centre was closed for all of 2023! That'll teach me not to check things out first.
Disappointing but we continued walking as everything looked very pleasant.
Plenty of views of the sea and paths to walk.
Even though the lighthouse was closed to visitors I was able to take a photo. Note the scaffolding in position.
The lighthouse has two towers and was built in 1752 by Thomas Fonnerau. The lighthouse guides boats and other vessels through the English Chanel.
We wandered along the coast enjoying the fields, sea and colours.
Finally we made our way back to the Lizard Village,, where our car was waiting on the village green. Donations are requested for parking on the green.
Nearly forgot to say: the Lighthouse marks the most southerly point of mainland Britain.
