Land's End is a headland and tourist and holiday complex in western Cornwall, England, situated within the Penwith peninsula about eight miles west-south-west of Penzance at the western end of the A30 road. To the east of it is the English Channel, and to the west the Celtic Sea. It is the most westerly point of mainland England, but not the westernmost point on mainland Great Britain, as this title narrowly goes to Corrachadh Mòr in the Scottish Highlands.At its heart, it’s a major tourist attraction with all that that entails as the “visitor centre” has over recent years been developed into a leisure complex. Walk just 1 mile or more away from the ice cream and snack bars along the coast in either direction and you’re confronted with some of the most beautiful coastal views anywhere in the UK (particularly at sunset)
