The Lizard is the Southernmost point of the British mainland, a bold promontory that juts out to form a gatepost to the English Channel.

The station's Tyne class lifeboat is housed in Kilcobben Bay - the boathouse with it's 258ft slipway can been seen tucked away at the foot of the steep cliffs in the centre of the main photograph. Access to the boathouse, which can be seen among the choppy seas and perilous rocks in the picture below, is a decent from the clifftop winch house by lift or steps.
