    Lands End is simply not worth it - visually it has been spoilt by a theme park built by de Savary. The Lizard is much nicer and the furthest…

    It's amazing how Land's End has such a pull - huh? I've done both there - and John o'groats. Neither had anything to offer, but glad I've…

    My piece of advice - skip Land's End. It's just an overpriced tourist trap. Visit Sennen Cove, or Kynance Cove, or the Minack Theatre…

    Could do, but I anticipate it would be early starts each day - though. I would also suggest if you're doing 3 nights, possibly camping.…

    My favourite detour?.... It's a bit out the way - but Clovelly on The North Devon Coast, is just wonderful. Like I said - it's a long…

    Hi.... In my opinion, you'll not achieve all this in 3 days. The Eden Project is a full day - minimum. Stonehenge will take you the bes…
