LOCATION
Mawgan-in-Meneage is an attractive little village located at the base of the Lizard Peninsula, between the Helford River and Gunwalloe. The town of Helston is just over 5 miles away and Mawgan Stores is ideally situated for serving the rural community of a number of surrounding villages and hamlets around the Lizard.
The most southerly point of mainland Britain, the Lizard peninsula is a place like no other. The sea seems a touch bluer, the light a little brighter and the land a littler flatter! The geology is unlike anywhere else in Cornwall, with rocks that formed 350 million years ago responsible for the unique landscape, a plateau surrounded by robust sea cliffs, here and there providing a safe haven for a small harbour or fishing village.
The Lizard peninsula provides unique opportunities for adventure with a myriad of outdoor activities on your doorstep. Whether you are into bird watching, hiking, sea kayaking or surfing, there truly is something for everyone.
