Why it's Wildland

5.3

A raised beach on the Lizard Peninsula gives Lowland Point a glimpse of an older coastline, with open sea views towards the Manacles reef.

Lowland Point is more than a coastal viewpoint: its raised beach records higher sea levels, while the coast path brings you to a striking view of the Manacles. The approach is a proper walk over uneven ground, not a simple roadside stop.
