The area around Mullion and St Keverne sits on the rugged Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, where steep, serpentine‑strewn cliffs and sheltered coves meet wide farming moorland. Coastal highlights include Mullion Cove and stretches of the South West Coast Path, and much of the landscape falls within Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and local nature reserves, making it popular for walkers, wildlife‑watching and geology enthusiasts.
Locally the economy blends tourism with small‑scale fishing, dairying and crofting, and there’s a strong sense of community in the scattered villages and hamlets. Historic threads - a medieval parish church at St Keverne, a long coastal pilchard and fishing tradition and the folklore of smuggling - sit alongside contemporary crafts using the distinctive local serpentine stone and events that keep village life lively through the seasons.
