Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information:
*************
The Lizard is a peninsula of Cornwall, and contains the most southerly point of mainland Cornwall and of the island of Great Britain, Lizard Point. The peninsula measures approximately 14 miles (23 km) x 14 miles (23 km). Historically a particularly hazardous stretch of coastline, it was also known as the "Graveyard of Ships".
The name 'Lizard' is most probably a corruption of the Cornish name 'Lys Ardh', meaning 'high court';[1] 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' ("British one") as during the Iron Age (Pytheas c. 325 BC) and Roman period, Britain was known as Pretannike (in Greek) and as Albion (and Britons the 'Pretani').[2]
