Land's End

Enlarge picture
An aerial view of the most westerly point in mainland Britain and the most visited location in Cornwall. Two lighthouses lie just offshore, the Longships and, a little further south, Wolf Rock.

Promontory of southwest Cornwall, 15 km/9 mi southwest of Penzance, the westernmost point of mainland England.

A group of dangerous rocks, the Longships, extend 0.6 km/1 mi out beyond Land's End; and are marked by a lighthouse (1793).

Land's End is a turf slope ending in a granite cliff about 18 m/59 ft high. A natural tunnel pierces the headland, and there are caves which are accessible at low tide. The Longships include the Carn Bras, Meinek, Tal-y-maen, Kettle's Bottom, and Armed Knight rocks. Nearby is the Minack Theatre carved from the cliff face at Porthcuno.

The area has been under private ownership since 1987 and is open to tourists for a fee.
