| Located at the southwest end of the southwest
end of the British island, Land's End is just that. The painter
Turner painted it. There used to be an inn referred to as the
first and last house in England.
The
photo shows the Armed Knight and the Longships lighthouse. The
Longships, several miles out, is a greenstone and quartz island.
The original lighthouse was built in 1795.
Offshore,
between Land's End and the Scillies Isles, is supposed to lie
the lost land of Lyonesse, referred to in Arthurian literature.
According to tradition, a man named Trevilian escaped by horse
and was the sole survivor when Lyonesse submerged and was
swallowed by the sea.
