Scenery and Views
Pros:
"Full of beautiful nature, scenic views where sea, sky, cliffs and clouds making a perfect scene."
"Fantastic experience, the views are fantastic and there is plenty to do there with the family."
"Lands End offers breathtaking vistas of the rugged coastline and the endless expanse of the Atlantic Ocean."
"Nature is not always greenery. It's the end of land of UK. One side you have the rocks grass and on the opposite side one can see the beautiful Atlantic ocean."
"The views are breath taking, could sit there all day watching the waves crashing against the rocks and coastline."
"Very beautiful scenery. You can see the water and sky meeting at this point."
"The views here are absolutely breathtaking (as was the wind!)."
"Stunning views as expected but super disappointed we had to pay to have a photo next to the sign."
Cons:
"We went for the sunset but the clouds rolled in. So these was the best pictures I got. Nothing was open, the toilet facilities were poor."
"You have to pay to approach the sign to take a picture of you with it. Otherwise you stand behind the fence and take the sign from a distance."
"Unpopular opinion, I did not like this place much. Views are good but there are far better views from nearby areas in south Cornwall."
"This place has been massively monetised which takes away from its charm."
"Rude staffs. Arrogant! Closed the photo booth 45 minutes before the closing time and that too without any warnings."
"How can such an important site for UK geography and iconic sign become a horrible tacky rip off???"
"The photo team was not there on the day we visited and thus the sign was also not setup."
"Absolutely despicable how they have monetised such an important landmark."
Photography and Signpost
Pros:
"Fantastic experience, the 3 people working at the sign were lovely and incredibly helpful with our request."
"The iconic destination offers breathtaking vistas of the rugged coastline and the endless expanse of the Atlantic Ocean."
"Although people moan about the cost of everything at Land's End, yes the prices are high but it supports the site."
"It's the start of England, you have to go at least once! Parking is now £7 though and it's £10 for a personalised, professional picture with the sign."
"The views are breath taking, could sit there all day watching the waves crashing against the rocks and coastline."
"We parked in Sennen Cove and walked the 1 mile and a bit along the coastal path to Land's End."
"I loved having our family photo taken at the Lands End sign. It was on my bucket list of things to do and I am so glad to have done it."
"Land end sign photo was excellent, the staff were really friendly especially if you want a bit of banter."
Cons:
"But the poor thing is they put fence around Lands End sign mean you have to pay £10 to get just one photo."
"The only annoying part was not being able to get to the sign to take my own photo of my family."
"I was very disappointed to find that you can’t take a picture of yourself at the lands end sign any more."
"Not what I expected didn't realise the land end sign was private and had to be paid for."
"They charge you £10 to get photo clicked with the "Land's End" sign."
"Very disappointed that it is not possible to stand by the sign without paying for a photograph!"
"Don’t expect to be able to take photos with this unless you’re willing to shell out on the extortionate £10+ tourist fee."
"Rip off having to pay to take a photo. If you go to lands end don't pay for parking."

"Went to lands end in the day but also watched the fireworks in the evening, fireworks were good, even had a backstory to go with it, was little chilly by then as it's late."
"It was a fun day out, I enjoyed visiting the sign and visiting the shops there."
"Its lands end 1st time for us as a family plenty to do likes of crazy golf was packed."
"Unpopular opinion, I did not like this place much. Views are good but there are far better views from nearby areas in south Cornwall."
"There is little to offer here aside from tourist tat' teas, coffees, ice cream."
"Absolutely stunning view here! This place is weather dependent. Ensure you check before you visit."

"Pleasant place for a visit, fairly touristy, a few gift shops and places to get a cornish pasty or bite to eat."
Cons:
"Parking is minimum 4hrs @£7, enough time for you to visit both left and right side from the cliff."
"We went back just for the fireworks and it did not disappoint one bit. Parking cost was £7."
"Car parking starts at £7 for 2 hours, which is also steep!"
"Thought I'd pop in for a quick look around but was horrified by the 'New Car Park Tariffs'! The minimum was £6 for 3 hours!"
"It's too commercialised. First time being there, I always imagined a sign, on its own. It is not. It's surrounded by overpriced food and tat shops."
"National trust 'own' this now and what a rip off. Most people are only there for an hour but the car park is £7."
"Don't bother going it's just a tourist trap, charge a fortune for parking, you have to pay a fortune to get a photo of the sign."
"You have to queue and pay to have a photo taken with the sign, which isn't that bad, they post the photos to you however I noticed that one of the photographers behavior was racist to people of colour."
