Land’s End ,is a headland on the Penwith peninsula in western Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

The tip of the headland is the westernmost point of England on the main island of Great Britain. It separates the English Channel to the east from the Celtic Sea to the west. About 40 kilometers southeast on The Lizard peninsula is Lizard Point, the southernmost point in Great Britain.
Because of its geographical location, Land’s End is often the starting point for hikes. This headland was once considered the most westerly point in England, until precise measurements revealed that Land’s End is the most westerly point. Legend has it that the sunken land of Lyonesse was located between Land’s End and the Isles of Scilly. Today Land’s End is privately owned. It is a tourist-oriented theme park with a hotel, a tourist information center, souvenir and craft shops.
