Land's End
Land's End is a
peninsula located at the extreme western tip of
Cornwall,
Great Britain near
Penzance. The peninsula is the most western part of mainland
England (though not of
Britain). Visible from Land's End is the
Longships Lighthouse. The Longships, a few miles out, is a
serpentine and
quartz island. Offshore, midway between Land's End and the
Scilly Isles, lies the mythical lost land of
Lyonesse, referred to in
Arthurian literature.
