For the Love of the British Isles: LAND'S END

the most westerly point in mainland England. The most visited outdoor tourist attraction in the County, Lands End has rugged wave lashed cliffs, stunning views, the Longships Lighthouse and Wolf Rock off shore, the Isles of Scilly in the distance. 2500 miles away across the Atlantic Ocean is America.

Just visible, the Longships lighthouse stands 100ft tall on a reef 1 mile off Lands End

Land's End has been the centre of Cornish legends. Some tales tell that the lost land of Lyonesse - a sort of British version of Atlantis - lies beneath the sea, and even that the spires of churches can be seen poking up from the ocean floor if conditions are right. Sailor's tales say that the sound of bells beneath the waves can be heard. Lyonesse was also said to be the lost Camelot of King Arthur legend.

For the Love of the British Isles

The one thing I love, is riding my motorcycles around the beautiful British Isles. This is a collection of some of the places I've been, and seen.

These small islands are an entire library of different geographies, history back to the dawn of time, and some of the most beautiful places in the world.

The pages are split into counties and two or three of the largest cities, and will be updated by me, whenever I come back from my travels.

Please take the time to explore them, as I myself explore the real thing. Oh, and don't imagine all of the posts will be about well-known places. I like the unusual and the obscure.

I hope you enjoy them!
