Land's End (Cornish: Penn an Wlas or Pedn an Wlas) is a headland and holiday complex in western Cornwall, England. It is the most westerly point of mainland Cornwall and England, situated within the Penwith peninsula about eight miles (13 km) west-south-west of Penzance at the western end of the A30 road.
The actual Land’s End or Peal Point, is a modest headland compared with nearby headlands such as Pedn-men-dhu overlooking Sennen Cove and Pordenack, to the south. The present hotel and tourist complex is at Carn Kez, 200 m south of the actual Land’s End. Land's End has a particular resonance because it is often used to suggest distance. Land's End to John o' Groats in Scotland is a distance of 838 miles (1,349 km) by road and this Land's End to John o' Groats distance is often used to define charitable events such as end-to-end walks and races in the UK. Land's End to the northernmost point of England is a distance of 556 miles (895 km) by road.
The cliffs are made of granite, an igneous rock, which means that the cliffs will be more resistant to weathering, and will have steeper cliff faces. There are two varieties of granite represented at Land's End. Adjacent to the hotel the granite is coarse-grained with large phenocrysts of orthoclase, sometimes more than 5 in (13 cm) in length. To the north, at the First and Last House, there is a finer grained granite with fewer and smaller phenocrysts, and the different granites can be seen from a distance by the smoother weathering of the finer variety. The granite dates to 268–275 million years ago of the Permian period. The contact zone between the Land's End granite pluton and the altered ″country rocks″ is nearby and the Longships Lighthouse, offshore, is built on the country rock. Land's End is a popular venue for rock climbers.
The Longships, a group of rocky islets are just over 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore, and together with the Seven Stones Reef and the Isles of Scilly which lie about 28 miles (45 km) southwest — are part of the mythical lost land of Lyonesse, referred to in Arthurian literature.
The area around Land's End has been designated part of an Important Plant Area, by the organisation Plantlife, for rare species of flora.
In 1769, the antiquarian William Borlase wrote:
Of this time we are to understand what Edward I. says (Sheringham. p. 129.) that Britain, Wales, and Cornwall, were the portion of Belinus, elder son of Dunwallo, and that that part of the Island, afterwards called England, was divided in three shares, viz. Britain, which reached from the Tweed, Westward, as far as the river Ex; Wales inclosed by the rivers Severn, and Dee; and Cornwall from the river Ex to the Land's-End.
Tourists have been visiting Land’s End for over three hundred years. In 1649, an early visitor was the poet John Taylor, who was hoping to find subscribers for his new book Wanderings to see the Wonders of the West. In 1878 people left Penzance by horse-drawn vehicles from outside the Queens and Union hotels and travelled via St Buryan and Treen, to see the Logan Rock. There was a short stop to look at Porthcurno and the Eastern Telegraph Company followed by refreshments at the First and Last Inn in Sennen. They then headed for Land’s End, often on foot or horse, because of the uneven and muddy lanes. Over one hundred people could be at Land's End at any one time. At Carn Kez, the First and Last Inn owned a small house which looked after the horses while visitors roamed the cliffs. The house at Carn Kez developed into the present hotel. The earliest part of the house was damaged by the Luftwaffe when a plane returning from a raid on Cardiff jettisoned its remaining bombs. 53 fisherman were injured or killed. In the build-up to D-Day American troops were billeted in the hotel leaving the building in a bad state.
Land's End was owned by a Cornish family until 1982, when it was sold to David Goldstone. In 1987, Peter de Savary outbid the National Trust to purchase Land’s End for almost £7 million from David Goldstone. He had two new buildings erected and much of the present theme park development was instigated by him. He sold both Land's End and John o' Groats to businessman Graham Ferguson Lacey in 1991. The current owners purchased Land's End in 1996 and formed a company named Heritage Great Britain PLC. Attractions at the theme park include children's playgrounds and recorded music. Twice a week in August, Land's End hosts 'Magic in the Skies', a night-time firework spectacular with music by British composer Christopher Bond and narrated by actress Miriam Margolyes. Within the complex is the Land's End Hotel.
In May 2012, Land's End received worldwide publicity as the starting point of the 2012 Summer Olympics torch relay.
Land's End is either the start or finishing point, of end to end journeys with John o'Groats in Scotland. One of the earliest was by Carlisle who left Land's End on 23 September 1879, went to John O'Groats House and arrived back at Land's End on 15 December; taking 72 days (exclusive of Sundays); covering 3,899 miles (6,275 km). To prove his journey, he kept a log book which was stamped at any Post Office he passed. An early end to end on bicycle was completed by Messrs Blackwell and Harman of Canonbury Bicycle Club. Starting at Land's End they covered 900 miles (1,400 km) in thirteen days in July/August 1880.

Land’s End (kornisch Penn an Wlas, Pen an Wlas), in der Nähe von Penzance, Cornwall gelegen, ist eine Ortschaft und die gleichnamige Landzunge. Die Spitze der Landzunge ist der westlichste Punkt Englands auf der Hauptinsel Großbritanniens. Etwa 40 Kilometer südöstlich befindet sich auf der Halbinsel The Lizard der Lizard Point, der südlichste Punkt Großbritanniens, quasi in direkter Nachbarschaft. Die etwa 45 Kilometer südwestlich von Land’s End gelegenen Scilly-Inseln sind der westlichste Punkt Englands. Bei klarem Wetter sind sie von der etwa 60 Meter hohen Klippe über dem Atlantik aus zu sehen. Weiterhin ist von hier aus der etwa zwei Kilometer südlich gelegene Longship Leuchtturm (1795, bzw. Nachfolgebau von 1893) sichtbar, der auf einer aus Quarzit und Serpentinit gebildeten Insel steht.
Land’s End ist wegen der geographischen Lage oftmals Ausgangspunkt von Wanderungen (auf dem South West Coast Path), Fahrradtouren, Reisen und Rallyes quer durch Großbritannien, zum Beispiel mit Oldtimern. Die Gegenstücke dazu sind John o’ Groats, der (angeblich) nördlichste Punkt auf der Hauptinsel Großbritanniens, und Lowestoft, der östlichste Punkt auf der Hauptinsel Großbritanniens. Große Entfernungen werden in Großbritannien oft mit der Metapher „von Land’s End bis John o’ Groats“ beschrieben.
In der Nähe liegen Pendeen Lighthouse und nördlich davon Cape Cornwall. An diesem Kap beginnen der Bristolkanal sowie die Irische See nach Norden und nach Süden der Ärmelkanal. Früher galt jene Landspitze als westlichster Punkt Englands, bis genaue Messungen ergaben, dass Land’s End der westlichste Punkt ist.
Der Legende nach soll das versunkene Land Lyonesse zwischen Land’s End und den Scilly-Inseln gelegen haben.
Land’s End befindet sich heute in Privatbesitz. Dort befinden sich ein touristisch ausgerichteter Themenpark mit einem Hotel, Läden und unter anderem einigen Schiffen wie dem Fischkutter Confide (PZ-741) und dem RNLI-Seenotrettungskreuzer RNLB James & Catherine Macfarlane, die besichtigt werden können. In direkter Nähe liegt der Flughafen Land’s End.
Vor und in den Klippen befindet sich aufgrund der exponierten Lage ein Schiffsfriedhof. Das Wrack des im Jahre 2003 gestrandeten Frachters RMS Mülheim mit Heimathafen Duisburg liegt wenige hundert Meter nördlich der Spitze, viele weitere gesunkene Schiffe liegen in direkter Nähe unberührt unter der Wasseroberfläche und ziehen Taucher an, wie zum Beispiel das Black Swan Project.

Aurora Borealis #selfie from this week. I am so glad I decided to take the gamble and go out to see if there was some activity on the sky. And oh boy, for about 15 minute period it was truly a glorious display by mother nature. I am a sucker for northern lights and reflections. Have a nice day, folks! :-)

April of 1992, ten years after the NYS&W acquisition of the Utica Branch and we find the GP-18, #1800 once again, in different form. The 1800 has enter the Rome locomotive Works and has had an engine rebuild with 645 power assemblies, new paint, and named after the late John Treen, a long time Susquehanna employee and rail fan. What's completely different, I got it going the "correct" direction northbound through Norwich, NY!
Choo choo moma, won't you ride the train?

In der Eider-Treene-Sorge Niederung, kurz ETS genannt, durchströmen die drei Flüsse, Eider, Treene und Sorge eine weite, marschähnliche Landschaft, welche durch ihre atemberaubende Weite eine ganz besondere Magie entfaltet, welche sich allerdings nicht auf dem ersten Blick erschliesst. Es braucht Zeit, diese strukturarme Landschaft zu erschliessen, mit ihrer beindruckenden Vogelvielfalt und Erlebnisdichte. Ob es jubelnde Lerchen sind, oder zigtausende Gänse, genauso wie Kranich und Singschwäne, welche auf ihrem Zug nach Norden oder zurück, zu Zehntausenden die Landschaft mit ihren wilden Rufen füllen oder den Himmel verdunkelnde Staren Schwärme, die ihre betörenden Strudel tanzen. Es ist unmöglich, sich nicht faszinieren zu lassen in dem Gefühl: Genauso wirkte und klang die Welt hier bereits vor tausenden von Jahren.
Zennor is a historic village and parish which includes
Boswednack and Porthmeor and the hamlet of Treen and is located between St Ives and Pendeen on the B3306.
Alphabetically, the parish is the last in the UK. Its name comes from the Cornish name for the local saint, Saint Senara.
Unfortunately the Wayside Museum, a popular local folk museum closed some years ago with the building reverting to residential use.
