 Lands End, Cornwall
 Lands End Signpost
Britain’s most south westerly point, Land’s End lies on the very tip off the Cornish peninsula and together with John o’Groats in Scotland forms a 874 mile coast to coast tour of Great Britain.
The geography of Land’s End looks exactly as its name would suggest, a dramatic coastline, constantly battered by the Atlantic Ocean with chunks of rock cut away from the land by the pulsating waves.
Legend has it that the rocks out to sea are the remains of the lost land of Lyonesse that once linked Cornwall to the Scilly Isles some 27miles away, that has long since been submerged beneath the Ocean. Standing offshore are the various lighthouses around the peninsula guiding ships past these tricky waters.
 View of Lands Ends
This scenic landscape is blighted somewhat by the rather tacky, amusement arcade built up above the cliff face but if you catch Land’s End out of season or in the morning or evening when the attractions are shut, the magical scenery comes into its own. In fact one of the best times to view Land’s End is at sunset when the sun drops on the westerly horizon, just as the lighthouses beacons start to beam
