Land's End is a headland and tourist complex in west Cornwall, England, on the Penwith peninsula about 13 km west-southwest of Penzance at the western end of the A30 road. The English Channel lies to its east and the Celtic Sea to its west. Land's End is the westernmost point of mainland England and the most south-westerly point of Great Britain. Its name carries a special ring because it is often used to suggest great distance: the road journey from here to John o' Groats at the far north of Scotland is 1,349 km, and charity walks and races follow that route. The tourist complex sits about 180 metres south of the actual Land's End. Grey granite cliffs clad in grass and heather fall to the ocean, and white waves break over rocks jutting from blue-green water. Longships Lighthouse stands on rocks out at sea on the horizon, and the cliffs run away north and south along the coast. Visitors walk the clifftop paths to viewpoints and see neighbouring headlands such as Pedn-men-dhu. Neighbouring Pedn-men-dhu looks over nearby Sennen Cove. The wind on the cliffs is strong, so keep back from the edges.
