Description
The First and Last House in England really does have a breathtaking view. On a clear day, floating on the horizon past the Longship's Lighthouse, the Scilly Isles can be seen 28 miles offshore.
Located on the clifftops at the most westerly point of mainland Britain, this is the first or last house depending on whether you're entering or leaving England.
This famous historical building was originally opened by a lady called Gracie Thomas who served travellers at Land's End with welcome food and drink, plus souvenirs of their visit, originally just pieces of local granite with 'Land's End' stamped on them.
So many years later, the First and Last House still offers gifts, toys and refreshments including, of course, real Cornish ice cream.
