A charming little village, near to the Lizard Village. It has a sheltered harbour, and a steep street either side with lovely cottages, It has a few fishing boats still catching crab, lobster and small quantities of local fish. There is an old pilchard cellar still standing on the quay beside the inn.

It was a major fishing harbour in times gone by, holding the record for pilchards with 1.3 million caught in a single day back in the 19th century.

No parking at all down in the village. If your been there you'll know why. Park near the top of the village (at the bottom of the car park is a small path It is a very beautiful walk though the centre of the valley with great views. Walk down the lovely wooded path from the car park, with its views across the narrow valley, with many flowers and past the famous small church, about the size of a room. St. Mary's is without doubt the most unpretentious Church.

There is no wheelchair access on the top of the path.

If so please drive down to the seafront. It is VERY narrow, (no joke), no large vehicles can pass, a car can, (be prepared to reverse a little). After going up the other side of the seafront, you will will have to drive a couple of miles with some very narrow bends to get back to the car park. The walk is quite short.
