Land's End

Arrived at Lands End around noon. Once again, we decided to take the not so straightforward route. We started from the holiday village, firstly to St Ives town centre, then proceeded to St Just via B3306 – the coastal route – before finally arriving at Lands End nicely for lunch. We had our packed lunch by the cliff, only to be interrupted by the seagulls eyeing for our food. After unsuccessfully trying to fend them off, I thought we should move back into the car to finish our food before the seagulls started diving into our food containers. (I noticed that the seagulls were very generous with their “droppings” on my car afterwards. Are they trained to take revenge?) Lands End itself was a very nice place. The surrounding cliffs were very steep but with the clear blue sky, you can see right to the horizon. A few mandatory pics at the popular Lands End signpost. Only now I know that the signpost was put up there by a photography company as a way of attracting customers. Until today it is being managed by the company and you have to pay £9.50 for them to take your picture under the signpost. I opted to not pay them but took a few snaps a few metres away. Then, a stroll around the area – I still feel that the seagulls are keeping a close watch on us! Then back to St Ives - the children have been badgering me wanting to go to the swimming pool at the holiday village. After a short swim, we headed to St Ives harbour to see the sunset. Nice!
