Land’s End, a cape in Cornwall, is the westernmost point of land in England. It juts into the English Channel where the channel opens into the Atlantic Ocean. Land’s End is a granite promontory with cliffs from 60 to 250 feet (18 to 76 meters) high that have been carved into strange shapes by the waves. Longships Lighthouse, on a rock about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from Land’s End, marks dangerous reefs.
