Last Year I wanted to check out the Cornish coastline not to mention discover a touch more concerning its history and local culture. For the duration of my excursion I used up the day dropping by Land's End along with the Minack Theatre.
Land's End is the westerly point of mainland Britain and famous for its natural splendour . I observed this first-hand - crashing waves, spectacular granite cliffs in addition to plenty of local wildlife. After getting a 'Complete Guide to walks around Land's End' at the guest centre, I started out on a laid-back ramble along the headland, selecting a quick route knowing that I would likely spend lots of time resting to admire the birds flying over head (in any case I saw glimpses of Gannets and then Kittiwakes, nonetheless I was saddened to never get a picture of the unique Cornish Chough which was at one time extinct in this particular area!). I also took some time to glance in to the ocean from up on the cliffs, wanting to observe a grey seal or even a shark basking in the sunshine - it looks like it wasn't my fortunate day. But this did not pull me down; I had the chance to discover the beautiful Cornish landscape and make the most of the variety of wildlife, and entry is free of charge which means there's not any dent inside my wallet.
After making the most of a wonderful Cornish Pasty from The Old Bakehouse, I used a good section of the afternoon checking out each of the attractions at Land's End. I particularly liked going to the cost free End-to-End display that reveals the story of those who have finished voyages from Land's End to John O'Groats. I couldn't go to Land's End without seeing the iconic signpost, however on finding the signpost I felt shocked to notice that to have my picture taken underneath it would set you back almost 10 pound. You will discover numerous other attractions at Land's End, which serves to satisfy every preference, however there was too little amount of time in the day for me personally to check out all of them, and have time for the showing of 'The Twits' at the Minack Theatre.
It will seem to be a real shame to go to Land's End yet somehow miss the widely known outside theatre, the Minack, which is only ten minutes away. I realised I was able to arrange tickets on the net in advance of my visit, which took the hassle out of my adventure and meant I could turn up and settle directly into my place. The only trouble was the frosty air, but that ought to be expected at an outdoor theatre on the Cornish Coastline! 'The Twits' is a play that had been at first penned as a children's story by Roald Dahl. The performance captured pretty much all of the humorous moments from the story and so had the customers in hysterics. All the same, I would certainly suggest taking a look at the weather when reserving seats, because I could think that even the perfect of plays will be unable to compensate for sitting down on a hard granite bench in the wind and rain! On the plus side my taxi was there for me as the show finished.
A trip I will certainly recommended highly, I most certainly will be coming back to both Land's End in addition to the Minack Theatre, armed with my windproof coat.
