Lellizzick

Lellizzick

A beautiful place to see in Cornwall, Lellizzick is a farmstead settlement found on the headland overlooking the sand dunes at Hawkers Cove, just over a mile from Padstow. It is close to the tidal inlet of the River Camel and the infamous Doom Bar where hundreds of ships have come to grief since records began in the 17th century.

A footpath leading north links Lellizzick to Stepper Point and south to Tregirls beach. A pay and display car park can be found below Lellizzick Farm.

Lellizzick is no stranger to television fame, having been the focus of a Time Team investigation which uncovered evidence of a settlement here during the Romano-British period with pottery and coins being discovered.

Imagining what Lellizzick looked like in days gone by. An archaeological excavation in 2007 revealed evidence of a roundhouse settlement.

This provides stunning scenery for walkers. Head towards Stepper Point, where a chapel dedicated to Cornish saint St Samson once stood.
