  • Last House, Land’s End 1907 – 2026

    The Last House at Land’s End, located at the most westerly point of mainland Britain, has a rich history dating back to the 1860s. Originally constructed as a modest dwelling, it underwent substantial renovations during the 20th century to cater to the increasing number of visitors drawn to this iconic location.

    While the front of the building retains its traditional granite facade, reflective of its late 19th-century origins, the structure has been significantly extended at the rear. These expansions have transformed it into a bustling retail space, now home to a gift shop and an ice cream parlour, illustrating the evolving nature of tourism in this picturesque setting.
