Mullion

Mullion is the largest of the villages on the Lizard. A very lively place in the summer providing interesting shops to explore and pubs and restaurants providing good food and drink.

Mullion Harbour which is a mile from the village was built as late as 1895. The tiny harbour on the wild western side of the Lizard was built to give protection to the Pilchard fishing which had developed here against all odds. The twin piers are in almost constant need of rebuilding as the fierce gales pound them every winter. The National Trust which has owned and maintained them since 1945 has done a splendid job in ensuring that they are kept in good repair. A favourite place for photographers and artists.
