First and Last House – An historical landmark

 

Closed from the end of September

The Land’s End point is situated in front of the ‘First & Last House in England’. This is one of the most famous and photographed buildings in the country. Built in the 19th century, the house was opened by a lady called Gracie Thomas who operated it as a refreshment and souvenir house, selling bits of granite with ‘Land’s End’ stamped on them. Today it still operates in a similar way – selling souvenirs and refreshments and is open from may to September.
