Parking

Pros:

  • "We were so pleased to see that the hotel allowed parkrunners to park for free."
  • "Parking is plentiful, when parking for 8 hours multiple visits can be made without having to buy another ticket."
  • "Speaking of the car park, its big, I've never struggled to get parked there."
  • "So much parking available with staff to guide you to the empty spots."
  • "Plenty of parking spaces available."
  • "Parking, you can pay anytime while you're there it's all AMPR so no need to display the ticket."
  • "A beautiful setting, with lots of parking and clean toilets."

Cons:

  • "Car park a bit expensive at £6 for first 2 hours - especially if just popping in to see the sign."
  • "The cost of parking is extortionate, especially since we arrived at 5pm and everything was closed but we still had to pay full price parking."
  • "I found the parking extremely expensive."
  • "The car park costs £7 and was very poorly maintained."
  • "Car parking expensive depending on how long you stay, £7 minimum for cars (3 or maybe 4 hours) bikes minimum £3."
  • "Car Park - it's jumped up now to £7 for 4 hours."
  • "Well this is a typical tourist trap, beware of the extortionate parking fees with a machine that defaults to the maximum stay fee."

Views and Scenery

Pros:

  • "Nestled at the southwestern tip of England, Land's End is a breathtaking masterpiece of nature."
  • "Brilliant views. We got there at 9 before everything opened so it wasn't too busy thank goodness."
  • "The dramatic cliffs, towering over the wild Atlantic Ocean, create a magnificent backdrop that takes your breath away."
  • "It’s always special for me to be by the ocean and this place has magnificent scenery in addition to the appeal of being the western most point of England."
  • "The cliffs and coast at Lands End are epic and have a huge sense of majesty; literally the end of the land."
  • "The views are stunning and we intend to go back when we are in Cornwall again in September and spend much more time walking on the cliff tops."
  • "The natural landscapes at Land's End are simply stunning. The rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and panoramic views of the ocean create a picturesque setting that is truly awe-inspiring."

Cons:

  • "Good for a visit to say you've been there, but there's nothing to see as such."
  • "Not so keen on all the tourist attractions stuff which rather spoils what could otherwise be a stunning, remote location."
  • "Amazing scenery, it's a bit of a shame that all the buildings detract from it."
  • "Apart from the commercialism destroying this gorgeous part of the world, it's perfect and beautiful."
  • "But the 'Land's end' is disfigured with a hotel that could have been bild some miles inwards and some totally useless attractions."
  • "While the overall facility that the shop and café etc are within is more of an eyesore on a national landmark."
  • "Beautiful piece of coastline, ruined by horrible shopping and amusement village."

Facilities and Attractions

Pros:

  • "There's a cute farm to visit, places to eat, sit, and drink. Fresh dohnuts and loads of food places all located together."
  • "The Visitor Centre provides an excellent introduction to the area, showcasing the rich history and heritage of Land's End through informative exhibits."
  • "Tourists and visitors very well catered for with many eateries (didn't seem any higher priced than elsewhere), various shops and a few kids entertainment."
  • "They've got this cool interactive exhibition, a cute little village, and tons of shops and cafes to keep you entertained."
  • "The on-site restaurant served delicious meals with a view, allowing me to savor a delightful lunch while admiring the stunning coastal scenery."
  • "The mini golf is brilliant, a really nice addition to the site and a huge upgrade on the king Arthur’s quest, which was very old and tired."
  • "The Land's End complex itself is well-maintained and offers a variety of attractions and activities to suit all interests."

Cons:

  • "Was disappointed that the lands end sign has now been commercialised, after paying £7 to park, they want to charge you a min of £10 for your photo took with the sign!"
  • "The only thing I didn't like was the shopping area prior to getting to the Lands End sign post."
  • "The cafe and gift shop are high priced but the rest of the facilities are just nonsense!!"
  • "The attractions are fun enough, but £70 for a family of 4 is a bit steep."
  • "The man-made structures here are all geared towards extracting as much money from you as possible."
  • "The whole thing seems like a massive tourist trap."
  • "A real tourist trap with not that much to do really, and if you want to stand right next to the famous signpost, it's going to cost you extra as a photographer has a barrier around it."

General Experience

Pros:

  • "I'd highly recommend coming here on a day out!"
  • "Such a beautiful and calm place to be and well worth the time it takes to travel to it."
  • "We absolutely love this place there's plenty to see and lots of walks."
  • "It's breathing views, cliffs, fresh breeze and a picture perfect scene."
  • "Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and would definitely go again."
  • "It's such a beautiful place with some amazing views."
  • "Land's End was great. It was sunny and not too many tourists."

Cons:

  • "Public toilets are best avoided."
  • "Toilets could have been better."
  • "Only thing I'd say could be better would be the childrens play area. Nothing really for younger children 1 swing and 1 wooden shop thing which has seen better days."
  • "The area is dog friendly however most of the cliff edges are exposed, there are no fences and the pathways are all natural with some uneven terrain."
  • "The farm needs serious upgrades though, it’s disappointing to see that this area is left fairly neglected."
  • "The parking was very expensive even though we only stayed for about an hour and a half max."
  • "Only one cafe was open and it was full."
