Some narrow lanes in Cornwall require reversing 200m to give way, so it is recommended to purchase zero-deductible insurance. Climbing the Giant's Causeway columns is prohibited (violators will be fined up to GBP 2,000). 📅 Best Times to Visit: May (gorse season) | September (whale watching season) | Avoid the student rush in July–August

Here, there are strange rocks by the sea. When combined with the atmosphere of flowers, grass, sea water and sky, the view is very good.

A Dreamy Combination of Drama and the Sea! Penzance Cliff Theater An amazing theater—Penzance Cliff Theater, like a bright pearl hidden on the coast of Cornwall, amazed me✨ 🏞️ First Impression: A Dreamy Place on the Cliff When I first saw Penzance Cliff Theater, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was built on a steep cliff, with the rough Atlantic Ocean below and the vast blue sky above. The architectural style of the theater is perfectly integrated with the surrounding natural landscape. The simple stone walls seem to grow naturally from the cliff, exuding a primitive and unique charm. Imagine watching a performance in such a place, with the sea breeze gently blowing on your cheeks and the waves hitting the cliff, becoming the most natural background music for the performance. The shock is something you can never experience in an ordinary theater. 🎭 Performance: The Integration of Art and Nature I was lucky enough to watch a classic play performed here. When the actors on the stage began to perform, something wonderful happened. The plot echoed the surrounding mountains and sea, and the emotions of the actors seemed to be magnified by this magnificent natural environment. When the sad part was performed, the wind was whimpering, as if sighing for the fate of the characters; when the exciting moment was performed, the waves were surging, as if cheering for the plot. Moreover, the stage design of the theater cleverly uses the natural terrain, with the sea and sky as the natural background curtain, and every scene is breathtakingly beautiful. Here, drama is no longer limited to performances on stage, but a grand narrative written together with nature. 🍃 Surroundings: The Collision of Beautiful Scenery and Leisure The scenery around the theater is also not to be missed. Walking along the path on the edge of the cliff, there is green grass under your feet and the endless sea in the distance. From time to time, you can see a few seagulls flying over the sea, making crisp calls. When you are tired, just sit on a nearby bench, bask in the sun, listen to the sound of the waves, and feel the unique leisure and comfort of the British seaside town. There are also some specialty shops and cafes nearby. When you are tired of shopping, you can go in for a cup of coffee and taste some local snacks. Chatting with the enthusiastic shop owner and listening to them tell stories about the theater and the town is also a rare experience. 💡 Practical Tips Check the performance schedule in advance and choose the show you are interested in to buy tickets. Tickets are in high demand, so it is recommended to book as early as possible. The weather here is changeable, so remember to bring rain gear and warm clothes. Even on sunny days, the sea breeze may be a little cold. When watching the performance, remember to mute your phone, respect the actors and other audiences, and enjoy this artistic feast.

This should be on everyone’s list of things to do when in Cornwall over Xmas!

This is the place anyone who comes to Cornwall must visit.

#100WaysOfTravel#landsend #cornwall #familytrip #end of the world If you want to travel to the end of the world you don't need to look too far. In UK, in Cornwall there is a place called Land's End. The scenary is breathtaking. You can see the sea hiting a steep mountain wall, foaming as it bangs into the rocks. The mountain finishes into the sea so abruptly that it looks like a giant hand cut the land to form a upright wall. The earth is dry and only small sturdy plants survive the wind there. It all looks like it was taken from a Mad Max movie. I can deffinitely understand why people in the old days believed that the World ends right there🥰

Land's End in Penzance, UK, is known as the Land's End of the UK. Located at the tip of the Cornwall Peninsula, it is a stunning place surrounded by the sea on three sides. Famous for being the 'end of the land,' it features an iconic white wooden sign marking the southwesternmost point of British land. Land's End attracts numerous visitors with its spectacular cliffs, breathtaking sea views, and unique geographical location. Standing at the top of Land's End, one can feel the vastness of the sea and the power of nature.

After a heavy rain, the sea recovered its calm and soft breeze, and the rainbow started to appear upon the beach as the sunlight returned.

Mushroom Jun's European Travel UK, London Penzance Penzance Cornwall's most convenient town is also the last stop of the UK's southernmost train Stayed here for three days, it is very convenient to go to the beach a lot of seniors in the town, are super cute a grandmother walked and suddenly turned back and said to me "Oops I am not too slow, I will give you a move. There is a grandmother who catches up and holds 40 dollars. "I watched the money fall out of your pocket. ", hurry up" There are a lot of grandfathers, with caps, wearing plaid suits look up at them, they will smile with a smile "Good morning" is such a small concern from a stranger, people can't help but live in this warm town for a while.

Mushroom Jun's European Travel UK, Cornwall Minack Theatre Minaco Theatre, here is the best combination of drama and the sea. 1930, Ms. Rowena Cade built an open-air stone theater here, where the actors can lean back against the sea and perform one after another classic repertoire. Today, more than 80 years have passed, the Minack Theatre is still in use, and if you are lucky enough, you can also see the Shakespeare's traditional repertoire at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The little girl who was visiting next to the stage stood on the stage and screamed quite loudly.
