Land’s End

Tickets required? No, but you will pay for the parking.

My rating: 7/10

Worts to visit? Maybe, if you have spare time.

Why? To be in the most western point in UK and see the last house in UK. The entrance is over commercialised with too many shops and restaurants, hovever the cliffs are beautiful.

3. Truro

What to eat?

Food in Cornwall is delicious. Most of local restaurants and pubs are supplied with product from the local farmers, so everything is tasty and fresh.

Cornish pasties

These come in different variations: traditional steak, cheese and onion, vegetable

Sea food

One must eat sea food when in Cornwall. I recommend mussels, fish and seafood platter.

Explore Cornwall by car

Why? The views are spectacular! The roads are very narrow which may be tiring, however it is worth it!
