The Lizard Lifeboat Station

A couple of shots of the lifeboat station at Lizard head - built in 1914 according to the sign above the door.

With it's lighthouse, famous pasties and at least two tea rooms claiming to serve the most southerly afternoon tea in the UK, this spot is a magnet for the tourists. Even when the weather is bad it is fairly busy here. This particular day was very windy and overcast, but we were fortunate that it was still clear enough for a fantastic view.

Interesting, my husband and I went to Cornwall for a holiday last weekend and it was really lovely there. Can't wait to go back again...

By the way, I'm blogging about the Cornish food that we had in the trip: http://windyscorner.info - maybe it would provoke your memory of the famous pasties and the cream tea...
