Experience granite cliffs, lighthouse views and Atlantic scenery at Cornwall’s famous western landmark.

Land’s End combines dramatic natural scenery with walking routes and visitor facilities. Paths lead above cliffs carved by the Atlantic, with views towards the Longships Lighthouse and, on exceptionally clear days, the Isles of Scilly. Seabirds are common and seals, dolphins or porpoises may occasionally be seen offshore. The natural clifftop is open throughout the year, though conditions can be exposed.

Highlights

  • Dramatic granite cliffs and ocean views
  • Longships Lighthouse
  • Coastal walks and wildlife watching

Plan your visit

Bring windproof clothing, keep to designated paths and supervise children carefully near cliff edges.

Good to know

Plan your day out

Check current opening times, admission arrangements and accessibility directly with the attraction before travelling. Advance tickets can be useful during school holidays, while an early start often means easier parking and more time to enjoy the visit at a relaxed pace.

  • Check current opening information
  • Consider advance tickets
  • Allow extra time during peak season
