The place that "marks" Land's End, the photographers signpost - out to sea it's 3172 miles to New York!  This is where all the Land's End to John O'Groats - 874 miles -  walks/rides etc, start or finish.

Slightly north of the first view, looking towards a little cliff top building on Dr. Syntax's Head...

... which is the First and Last Refreshment House in England.  Some Cornish people would dispute this as they don't accept Cornwall as being part of England, but that's another story!

Looking back from there towards the famous signpost and the complex of shops, cafés and attractions behinds it.

Looking north again from Dr. Syntax's Head towards the next headland, the right hand shot is zoomed in on a fairly recent shipwreck.

Looking out across the headland towards the Longship's rocks and their light house.

Looking down from Carn Greeb to the rock called the Armed Knight.

There's a farm park at Land's End, on Carn Greeb, part of which is seen here with the Longship's in the background.

The Longship's viewed through the heat haze.

The tourist complex seen from Carn Greeb.

Another view of the Armed Knight rock to end for now.
