The Land's End Peninsula is one of the most beautiful, naturally wild and unspoilt corners of Cornwall and one of the most important and best loved landmarks in Britain - famous for its unique location and beautiful scenery.
The spectacular cliffs at Land's End form England's most westerly point. For centuries they have been battered by fierce Atlantic winds and waves wearing away land which may have stretched as far as the Isles of Scilly, located 28 miles away. The cliffs at Land's End stand 200 feet above the crashing waves. Below the granite cliffs are a number of bizarre, isolated rock forms: Armed Knight, Dr Johnson's Head, Irish Lady, Kettles Bottom, and the arch of Enys Dodman. Offshore, the Longships Lighthouse can be seen warning ships away from this treacherous coast.
It is rare to discover a place such a concentration of scenery, wildlife, history and arts in such a small area - making Land's End the ideal place for a relaxing family holiday on the beach or as a centre to explore the rugged coast line and moors.
