It is definitely a must-visit with beautiful stretches of ancient coastline and awe-inspiring views. The first recorded name of Land’s End was ‘Penwith Steort’ dating back to 997. The iconic Land’s End signpost was established in the 1950’s when a local family-run business erected the now legendary Cornish icon.

Though in many ways, the magic of the county really happens in the Cornish landscape. But if you do fancy a city-trip, for a little retail therapy, or perhaps to see a show, the only one in the county is Truro! High Tea at Charlotte's offers an unmissable experience, in the charming Victorian building on Boscowen Street with Cornish-grown tea! Plus there are two covered markets, one selling eco/organic products, and on Saturday mornings there’s a great farmers' market on the piazza where you can find all kinds of local produce.
