Its claim to fame is
that it is the most westerly point in England, lying at the farthest
point of Cornwall.
There is a dramatic coastline from which you an see both the
Longships' Lighthouse (1.5 miles off shore), and the Wolf Rock Lighthouse
(8 miles off shore).
On a clear day you can see the Scillies 28 miles
away.
It is a major tourist destination, and there are a number of tourist
attractions at Lands End.
The cliff path
south from the area crosses some breath taking cliff scenery.
Off shore
are a number of rocks and reefs, with names such as "Armed Knight", "Dr
Johnson's head", "Irish Lady", "Kettles Bottom"
and
"Enys Dodman".
On a nice,
sunny day, it is very beautiful.
It's about as close
to the end of England as you can get!
Lands End is
also home to many fishermen.
Here's Rowan with the Lands End lifeboat.
And Rowan and
Joshua standing on big chains once used by another (presumably very
big!) boat.
