This route was planned by komoot.
The altitude meters are a lie. komoot has come up with something again :)
The Lands End Coaster runs from Sennen Cove to Porthcurno. From there you start the hike
After our zero-day yesterday, the stage started again in Land's End. Unfortunately, there was no breakfast at our campsite today. It's still off-season. But where the tourists arrive early in the morning, coffee isn't far away. At 8:30, we even had the legendary photo point to ourselves, without the annoying photographer trying to rip you off. We continued on very good paths and spectacular views along the coast. There were even two small places to stop for refreshments along the way. In the last third, the trail turns into a rather impenetrable jungle, which also increased the suspense as to whether we were even still on the right path. The owner of the campsite told us that locals call this cliff "Death Valley." It gives us some consolation that we survived and is therefore definitely a good story worth telling.
A fantastic tour in the extreme west of Cornwall with fascinating scenery.
Land's End is the westernmost part of England. From here, you can enjoy a wonderful hike along the coast, with plenty of ups and downs. Unfortunately, you have to walk back almost the same way, otherwise you'll have to go back along the road!
