The picturesque harbour and
handsome cove of this timeless village on the
Lizard peninsula form one of the prettiest sights
on the Cornish coast.
Above the village are tall, erratic serpentine
cliffs, the famous Poldhu Caves and a memorial to
the Italian wireless inventor Guiglielmo Marconi,
whose first transatlantic Morse signal was sent
from here.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Mullion Cove was
one of the county’s busiest smuggling areas.
Bronze and Iron Age burial mounds lie nearby. |
