Land's End is the extreme westerly point on mainland England. It is a small headland jutting into the Celtic Sea in west Cornwall, England. The site is famous for its rugged beauty and is a favorite among photography enthusiasts, particularly during sunsets and sunrise. Land's End is near the village of Sennen. The nearest town of any significance is Penzance, about 13 km (8 miles) away.

Being on the extreme westerly part of England, Land's End is often used to denote the farthest away part of the country. Geographically, Land's End comprises jugged cliffs battered by the surf. There are offshore rocky outcrops extending beyond Land's End. These are collectively known as the Longships. Even further away are the Isles of Scilly.
