Visited Poldown caravan park and stayed a couple nights. A small and cozy campsite nestled in well established woodland. Poldown is a couple of miles outside Helston and ideal for exploring both the Lizard and Penwith peninsulas.
First stop Helston to meet up with Kate @kate_wierenga. Kate is running a Crowdfund Cornwall project to raise funds to print a book about birth spaces.
The Cornish mist came down as we drove down the Lizard to Britain’s most southerly point. The sounding of the Lizard Lighthouse fog horns created a quite eerie atmosphere.
Always good to catch up with Ann, who makes some of the best Cornish pasties in the world. @annspasties – www.annspasties.co.uk
When you drive past a sign saying ‘Cherries for sale in Layby’ you just have to stop and check them out… then buy some… then eat them next. 
We first visited Lower Treave in 2008… nice to pop back for a cuppa and a chat and see how things have grown at Lower Treave Caravan & Camping park @LowerTreave
Richard Easy is staying @LowerTreave You can find out all about his adventures on the road on his ‘A Load of Nonsense’ blog. Follow him on Twitter @aloadofnonsense
In a layby at the Mullion turn, where the Kernow Kebabs van parks, we randomly met up with @HelstonCarpets in their works MINI.
Lovely sunset over west Cornwall, taken from the cliffs near Mullion Golf Club. We were here to visit the Ocean BMW Charity Golf Day. 
@FranchisCampsit. An ideally located campsite set in the heart of the Lizard peninsula. Really friendly, laid back owners who make you very welcome. Check out their website for more info and availability. We stayed a couple of nights and really liked the place.
The legendary Lizard Green car park… where people come to explore the most southerly point in Britain… Proper Cornish down here.
Who doesn’t like Kynance Cove? Stunning scenery and an amazing beach at low tide.
Ticket @Tweet_Bus_Dog happy to be out walking on the cliffs near Lizard village. Any of three directions out of Lizard village will take you to a different cove. Some of the walks around here are breathtaking and best viewed with a walk guide like @walkitcornwall 
Kennack Sands car park is not currently open and there’s little room to turn a car at the end of the road. Nice beach with fascinating rock colours. 
We stayed at Little Trethvas Camping and Touring site. Located about a mile from Lizard village. This is one of their Cornish holiday cottages. The campsite is run by a couple who visited the Lizard for 20 years before buying the site so they’re pretty clued up on places to visit. 
Coverack on the west coast of the Lizard. We were in the area looking for our friends at Lizard Ales.
Lizard Ales must be the only brewery in the world to be housed in a nuclear bunker. Located in what was formerly RAF Treleaver, the building is a huge relic of the Cold War, disused since the 1950s and too costly to remove.
Lizard Ales make a beer called An Gof, named after the celebrated Cornish hero Michael Joseph An Gof… he’s the one on the right. He was the local blacksmith in St Keverne before leading the march to London – and his death – in June 1497. 
Porthleven where you get some great waves at high tide. 
Penzance Promenade. It’s always a buzz to visit Penzance with its rich maritime history and heritage. “A beautiful place to visit – a wonderful place to live”
St Michael’s Mount, Penzance Bay as viewed from the next campsite we stayed at…
Golden Gate Campsite is a traditional style site and part of a Cornish smallholding. They provide local meats, poultry and eggs and have one of the best views in Cornwall. 
The view from Golden Gate Campsite across Mounts Bay. 
Minack Theatre, overlooking Porthcurno beach near Lands End. The sand is very light here giving it a tropical look.
