Mullion - Perfectly Placed on the Lizard Peninsula, Mullion, England
The traditional Cornish village of Mullion is situated at the confluence of three small valleys that open out into three pretty coves on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall.
In spring and early summer, a riot of colourful wild flowers tumbles over the cliff tops on the coastline of the聽Lizard Peninsula聽and dip and sway on the verges of the narrow lanes that weave their way across it. It is no wonder this stunning area of聽Cornwall聽has been designated an聽Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Mullion lies right at the heart of it.
Mullion聽is the best place to stay for those wishing to enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the Lizard Peninsula which boasts lovely, sandy beaches in sheltered coves and a huge variety of wild flowers including some that are unique to the peninsula.

The centre of the village is a short distance inland and features a variety of local shops, restaurants and the highly recommended聽Ann鈥檚 Pasties聽a traditional dish made from local ingredients. Some interesting old buildings such as the old Post Office and the Reading Room are now in private occupation. The village has three churches, the pretty Roman Catholic Church on its perimeter, the flint stone Methodist Church and the lovely thirteenth century聽church of Saint Mellanus. ......
