The high point or high court is because this point is one of the first seen when boats cross the Atlantic Ocean. It is the most southerly point of Britain.
The village is mentioned in the Doomsday book in 1086.
On the point is the lighthouse. The light house was first built by Mr. Killigrew in 1619. Several years later he could not maintain it and it became a ruin. It was built again in 1752 by Thomas Fonnereau and maintained by Trnity house in 1771. The lighthouse was automated in 1998 and is now the Lizard Lighthouse Heritage Centre. The area is known for its serpentine stone. It is often sculpted into lighthouses.
There are 600 species of flower including the Cornish heather. The choughs are very special birds as well.
An Rosweyth is a community organisation which exists to promote the use of the Cornish language
