Last Year I intended to take a look at the Cornish coastline not to mention discover a little more concerning its history and nearby culture. For the duration of my getaway I used up the day going to Land's End with the Minack Theatre.
Land's End is the single most westerly place of mainland Britain and recognized for its beauty. I experienced this first-hand - crashing waves, impressive granite cliffs with an array of local creatures. After getting a 'Complete Guide to walks around Land's End' at the site visitor center, I started out on a leisurely ramble along the headland, selecting a brief path knowing I could commit a long time stopping to take pleasure in the wild birds soaring overhead (in the end I spotted glimpses of Gannets together with Kittiwakes, but I had been saddened to never catch a picture of the rare Cornish Chough that was at one time extinct in this area!). I also took time to peek right into the seashore from very high up on the cliffs, hoping to view a grey seal or possibly a shark basking in the sun - it appears it wasn't my fortunate day. However this could not pull me down; I had the opportunity to discover the wonderful Cornish scenery and benefit from its range of wildlife, and admission costs nothing so there's zero dent inside my wallet.
After relishing in filling Cornish Pasty from The Old Bakehouse, I used a good section of the day checking out most of the visitors attractions at Land's End. I really enjoyed viewing the totally free End-to-End display that tells the story of people who have carried out trips from Land's End to John O'Groats. I couldn't go to Land's End without checking out the iconic signpost, but nevertheless on discovering the signpost I became disappointed to notice that to have my picture taken underneath it would cost nearly ten pound. There are various other visitors attractions at Land's End, which will serves as to satisfy every taste, however there was clearly not enough amount of time in the day for me personally to take a look at them all, and have time for the showing of 'The Twits' at the Minack Theatre.
It will seem to be a real shame to travel to Land's End and yet pass up the well-known open-air theatre, the Minack, which is 10 mins away. I was capable of arrange a seat on the web ahead of my visit, which took the aggravation away from my day and meant I was able to turn up and settle directly into my place. The one problem was the frosty wind, but then that can be expected at an outdoor theatre on the Cornish Coast! 'The Twits' is a play which was originally authored as a children's story book by Roald Dahl. The play caught all of the the entertaining events from the book and had the crowd in hysterics. Never the less, I would certainly advise looking at the temperatures when booking seats, simply because I could assume that even the greatest of plays would find it hard to compensate for sitting still on a cold stone bench in the wind and rain! Fortunately my taxi was there for me as my performance finished.
A visit I can highly recommend, I am going to be coming back to both Land's End and the Minack Theatre, armed with my windproof coat.
