Mullion is a coastal village on the Lizard Peninsula in west Cornwall, set against rugged cliffs and sweeping coves. The village looks out over the well-known small harbour at Mullion Cove, sits on the route of the South West Coast Path, and showcases the peninsula’s distinctive geology and maritime scenery that attract walkers and birdwatchers.
Historically a small fishing and quarrying community, Mullion retains a tight-knit feel around landmarks such as St Mary's Church, while its economy now leans heavily on tourism, local services and holiday accommodation; the harbour and some coastal defences are cared for by conservation bodies. The social mix shifts seasonally, with long-term residents, holidaymakers and the pressures common to Cornish coastal villages from second homes and rising visitor numbers.
