Secrets

How much time do you need: Unless you plan to spend time shopping or visiting the small theme park, you really only need an hour or two to see Land’s End. However, in combination with the scenic drive and many nice stops along the way, you could make a nice day trip visiting the area. It is the home of the famous Land’s End sign, which marks the distance to various points including New York and John O’ Groats. Sadly, though, you now have to pay to be photographed standing beneath the sign (although you do get to have it personalized with your family name and the date). The entire area has become heavily commercialized recently, so it does not quite have the wild and rugged feel you may expect in certain areas. Nevertheless, it is still pretty cool to stand at England’s closest point to the US and to admire the awesome view of the Atlantic!
