It’s always nice when a place-name is self-explanatory, and Land’s End is exactly that: the most westerly point of mainland England, this is literally where the land ends. Standing here on the western tip of Cornwall, the ocean stretching into the distance, it can feel like you’re standing on the edge of the earth. Excuse the cliché, but the views really will take your breath away!
The headland was formed around 270 million years ago, when boiling granite erupted to the surface to form the Land’s End peninsula. It was this eruption that created the area’s classic coastal scenery: rugged cliffs, rock arches, sea stacks, you name it. No wonder the area has become such a popular destination for artists and rock-climbers alike.
