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!

Secrets

Fun fact: Port Isaac’s Squeezy Belly Alley is said to be among the narrowest streets in the country! Walk along the promenade stretching for miles along the magnificent coast. It offers stunning views of the sea and the town and is a great way to take in the local scenery. When is the best time of year to visit St Ives? Winter is the best time for surfing, while summer is ideal for sunbathing on the beaches. The two sides of Falmouth are divided by a grassy headland, on which sits the Pendennis Castle, built by King Henry VIII in the 16th century. As you stroll through town admiring the old architecture, look out for Jacobs Ladder. This 111 step granite stairway leads up from the Moor – Falmouth’s main square. It may sound Biblical, but it was actually named after the local businessman who built it as a shortcut between his home and his business premises.
