The main attraction of Land’s End is undoubtedly its unique location and amazing views. A short walk in either direction along the coastal path from the main complex will provide fantastic ocean views as far as the eye can see, plus there are many interesting and unusual rock formations just off shore. These include the famous Enys Dodman arched rock, which is situated just off Pordennack Point above Greeb Farm.
