Land’s End is mainland Britain’s most south-westerly point. About a half hour drive from St. Michael’s Mount, it’s stuffed with tourists and tour buses. But as we found out, there’s so much more to the attraction than the busy souveneir shops and the famous Land’s End sign. Get off the beaten path and a nice surprise awaits.

I’m not sure how it was managed, but we’ve just returned from a fantastic 2 week road trip exploring castles in England and Scotland –and we didn’t get into a car accident. We may have been issued a couple tickets… but we’ll take 2 tickets over a car accident in a foreign country any day!
