I read that it is named Lizard for the rocks in a travel book I had back when I first visited in 2018, so not sure that's 100% accurate, but it is what Lonely Planet has led me to believe. :)

@@walkabout808 That can of course also be an explanation 🙂 Another explanation is from Wikipedia: Etymology: The name "Lizard" is most probably a corruption of the Cornish name "Lys Ardh", meaning "high court";[5] it is purely coincidental that much of the peninsula is composed of serpentinite-bearing rock. The peninsula's original name may have been the Celtic Bridanoc, from Britannakon ("the "British one"), preserved in the name of the former village of Predannack, now site of Predannack Airfield.[6 Perhaps we will never know for sure 🤫I enjoyed watching your video!

Glad you enjoyed it!

It was a surprise to me, too!

I travel all summer, and try to do shorter trips during the year, but don't always film those. Also, I'm a slower editor, hence the publishing slowly after the fact. Glad you're enjoying the adventure.

@@walkabout808 that's great! never tried editing videos so I'm sure I wouldn't be fast. Maybe I should try one day :)

I wasn't always this lucky, but am always grateful for the nice days.

@@walkabout808 yeah I was out yesterday. In the clouds all day long. Good fun though.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! The sunglasses are a brand called SINNER. I got them at a little shop on the Isles of Scilly last summer.

Spoiler: It doesn't last long and I miss it.

Tell me about it! Not fun.

Always.

Sorry about the audio. It was super windy, so there’s not much to be done. Hoped you liked the images!

I try to do my England explorations before summer school holidays for this very reason!

Very wise :)

Freshwater Bay Area was stunning. Honestly, the whole western tip was a great place to explore. Beautiful, but also interesting and not landscape I’d necessarily seen put together in that way before.

Awe, yes, love the Freshwater bay area, one of my favorite places :)

Thanks!

It is lovely here. Good luck on the move.

@@walkabout808 thank you lovely ☺️

It is super pretty all around here. Certainly a hiker's paradise.

No, not really. I generally have a harder time in Manchester, if I’m honest.

I have not done anything in the Sperrins. Honestly, I haven't spent that much time in Northern Ireland in general. Certainly a place I want to do more exploring.

Thanks, Debs!

Thanks for coming along!

@@walkabout808 my pleasure you have a lovely channel debs xx

Actually, that was part of my initial plan in going to IOM. However, I had some injuries that limited my abilities during this part of the trip.

It was a pretty amazing few days. Otherworldly for sure.

Thanks for watching!

I've been twice in the summer and once in the spring. The sunnier/warmer the weather, the more crowds. If you go in the summer, certainly get there early and beat the tour busses.

Thanks for watching!
