	The Lizard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name 'Lizard' is a corruption of the Cornish name 'Lys Airt', meaning 'high court'; it is purely coincidental that much of the peninsula is composed of a rock called serpentine.
		The Lizard is important from a geological point of view as it is Britain's only example of an ophiolite.
		The Lizard was featured on the BBC television programme Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders of the South West.
