Summary

Description
English: Lizard RNLI lifeboat station, Kilcobben Cove. The RNLI lifeboat is launched from the boathouse down the slipway into the sea - and in fact had done so just a few minutes earlier. The cliff railway connects the boathouse to the crew station, although the visiting public is invited to use the steps. The lifeboat station was opened here in 1961, the location was chosen because it was sufficiently protected to allow safe launching in all conditions. The old lifeboat station around the Lizard headland at Polpeor Cove (see 218998) was too exposed, making launching difficult and dangerous in certain conditions.
