Sunday snapshot: Land’s End

This week’s edition of Cornwall Sunday takes us to the westernmost point on the British mainland: Land’s End – or Penn an Wlas in Cornish.

This peaceful field at Slaughterbridge was the setting of a ferocious battle in ancient times. Was it the legendary Battle of Camlann in 537?

Tintagel is a fascinating place to explore, a ruin on top of steep cliffs, on two sides of a rocky isthmus facing the forceful Celtic Sea.

This is Cornwall, so Trerice Manor is naturally frequented by otherworldly beings. Here, it’s the ghosts of a servant girl and a stable boy.

Devil’s Bridge (Welsh: Pontafyrnach, ‘the bridge over the Mynach’) is enchanting and eerie, and an absolute must if you’re in Aberystwyth.

Newquay for kids essentially means Newquay Zoo. And cartwheels on the beach. Else, this is Cornwall’s surfing mecca, and all that comes with it.

Jamaica Inn has a fascinating location and history. Situated on Cornwall’s deliciously eerie Bodmin Moor, this is a coaching inn from 1750.
