Land's End
The westernmost point of mainland England, with granite sea cliffs and the famous signpost, a must-visit. On clear days you can see the Isles of Scilly.
The sea cliffs at Land's End rise about 60 metres, with the Longships reef and lighthouse offshore. The site has commercial themed exhibition halls and shops. Taking the famous 'Land's End' signpost photo costs money, but the clifftop path is free. Parking costs about £10. Walking south along the South West Coast Path for about 1 hour brings you to the 'Eye of the Needle' rock arch in Nanjizal Bay. It is about 30 km from St Ives, and in summer open-top double-decker buses run here.
