A Little Bit about the Area
The Lizard peninsular is the most southerly point in mainland Britain. The shoreline around The Lizard has many stunning coves and beaches some of which apparently have lost treasure within them, such as Dollar Cove just down the road. In 1669 a Spanish ship reputed to be carrying two tonnes of Spanish coins was wrecked nearby and it is said that even today these silver coins are washed ashore, documents on this ship are poor; however treasure hunting has gone on for centuries. In the mid 1800’s tin miners tried to sink a metre wide shaft under the wreck so that the coins would drop in to the tunnel, however the tunnel was flooded before they could get any coins.
Ever wondered how Helston got its name? Apparently the devil was flying across the sky carrying a huge stone which he wanted to use to block the gates of hell. St. Michael saw him and they had a great battle, halfway through the devil dropped the stone, where it was dropped became known as Helston! The stone is said to be built in to the walls of a local hotel, to celebrate St. Michaels victory, locals now do the Furry Dance through the streets on Flora Day.
