Never eat anything you cannot identify with 100% certainty.
This is a guide, not a substitute for expert identification. Foraging guides - including this one - can contain errors. If you are not completely certain of an identification, do not eat it. Cross-check against at least two independent sources, and when in doubt, consult a local foraging expert or an experienced forager in person before eating anything wild.
Lizard Point, the most southerly point of mainland England, is a National Trust-managed rocky headland on the Lizard Peninsula. Its serpentine rock shore and gullies are exposed to Atlantic swell and support a range of seaweeds including kelp and dulse.
Soil: rocky shore, serpentine bedrock and boulders
Parking: National Trust pay car park at Lizard Point, short walk to the shore.
What you might find here
Coastal foraging: check tide times before you go, be aware of cut-off routes across mudflats and salt marsh, and never gather shellfish without checking the current Cefas/FSA classification for that area - see the UK foraging law guide.
