WHAT DOES LIZARD PENINSULA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lizard Peninsula

The Lizard

Coordinates: 50°02′N 5°11′W / 50.033°N 5.183°W / 50.033; -5.183 Lizard Point Lizard Point The Lizard is a peninsula in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The most southerly point of the British mainland is near Lizard Point at grid reference SW 701,115. The Lizard is one of England's natural regions and has been designated as National Character Area 157 by Natural England. The Lizard village, the most southerly village on the British mainland, is in Landewednack, the most southerly civil parish. The peninsula measures approximately 14 miles x 14 miles. It is situated southwest of Falmouth ten miles east of Penzance. The name "Lizard" is most probably a corruption of the Cornish name "Lys Ardh", meaning "high court"; it is purely coincidental that much of the peninsula is composed of a rock called serpentinite. The Lizard peninsula's original name may have been the Celtic name "Predannack"; during the Iron Age and Roman period, Britain was known as Pretannike and as Albion. The Lizard's coast is particularly hazardous to shipping and the seaways round the peninsula were historically known as the "Graveyard of Ships".
