Encyclopedic overview
Land's End (Cornish: Penn an Wlas or Pedn an Wlas) is a headland and tourist and holiday complex in western Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, on the Penwith peninsula about eight miles (13 km) west-south-west of Penzance at the western end of the A30 road. To the east of it is the English Channel, and to the west the Celtic Sea.
Land's End is the most westerly point of mainland England. However, it is not the westernmost point on mainland Great Britain. This title goes to Corrachadh Mòr in the Scottish Highlands, which is is 37 km (23 mi) further West.
