Back in the days of my youth, Lands End was just one small single story building which was the tourist centre, a sign post of distances to places far and near and a car park. Now it looks like a whole moneytcatches paradise has risen up. By the way I’m eighty-five
Well, I think this video has shocked more than any of the others. The last time I was at lands end was probably back in 74/75 and there was nothing there but the sign post and the First and Last pub, and having a pee meant you took your life in your hands by either being blown into the sea or having it blown back in your face,(we were young and things worked a lot better back then🤣). Just can't believe it all.....a hotel!!.....well well well....(shakes head, tut's a lot, and walks away)
Was there 50 years ago as a lad of 20 was so mysterious being right at the end of the country to me now to commercial
My goodness. This is heaven on earth. We used to come here every summer at least twice if not more and never got tired of it.
It has been many years, 22, to be exact since we were there and it looks totally different. I remember it was just a kind of dirt path all the way to the hotel and the surrounding areas. They didn't have that village with all the shops and the other facilities.
The car park was a huge dirt patch that you parked for free. It's changed so much and it has lost it's untouched original look.
Why do they have to destroy these places with stupid things like a doughnut hut, clothing shop or crap like that? People can buy their frigging clothes in Penzance!! At least the hotel is still there. We have had quite a few excellent meals in there.
I Absolutely agree, this area was rugged and most beautiful many years ago and should have been adopted by the national trust it didn't need any money grabbing business person especially by the Americans to turn it into a razzamata venue. Knock it all down I say and let English nature depict it's outcome. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I say and definitely not the money grabbing Americans or any other get rich quick entrepreneur.I have spent many a happy hour in the first and last house which in the early days was a pub.'cheers' to one and all !!
The last time I visited Lands End was 79. It's changed soooo much now. I doubt I'll go again sadly. Beautiful place.
It is!
Visited here on a summers day and it was mobbed. Couldnt believe the narrow road into it, I had to negotiate several buses coming towards me on the drive in 😂 I've been to John O'Groats as well, it is a lot less commercialised but just as wild and windy 😂
I love Lands End myself. Been there many times.
Brought Memories Back When Visited Lands End And Meneck Theatre . Thank You For The Nice Video .
It's is beautiful and the view is wonderful and the sea is very nice and calm and a bit windy and I bet it gets very busy in the summer time and the only money is for hotel and carpark and shops not for walking round thanks Neil and nice to see the sun out
Is it still expensive to get to landsend. The last time I went they wanted a fortune to park and stay there
The last time i was at lands end a wooden sign post and the first and last house the rest was the magnificent view. No parking fee!but time moves on and things change, thanks for the update.
Last time we went was about 7 years ago and they charged to go in and for photos have they changed the entry fee then
There is no entry fee, just a parking fee, and you can return as many times as you like in one week using the same parking ticket
Yes Cornwall is our kind of place
Look at how blue the sea is there... absolutley stunning.. this is on my places to go
Good on yer !. Well if you do get there take plenty of money with you because in this case you can't see Britain's beatifull and rugged coastline without donating to the American coffers it's now one hell of a blot on the once and magnificent part of the UK
It has been totally ruined, my family is Cornish, I still live here, awful now its been commercialised.
I drove down there from Northumberland many years ago. I enjoyed the drive, but I was disappointed you had to pay to go to the actual Lands End, and must admit I refused to do so. That was back in the 90's, and there's certainly been some changes since I was last there. Lord knows what the prices are now, but maybe I might return. I love Cornwall.
The scenery is breathtaking. Those fluffy clouds against the blue sky is amazing.
I have no problem ,I have lived in North Yorkshire, my youngest daughter is Scottish. Its not about who you are its about what's being done here. 🙂
👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Great video as always…just thought I’d mention the Lands End sign you showed to us was a simple temporary one. It’s normally on the white post you walked past near to the sign you showed us. they family who own it must take it down during the low season and when the winds are at their most fierce in Winter! The real one visitors can slide in their hometown and mileage from Lands End for their personal pictures.
Ah thank you - didn't know that!
Those winds are crazy there for sure
Its been over 50 years since I went to Lands End, it was lovely to see it again even though its changed. You take us to all these places we could go ourselves and still not spend, its the people of today that have to buying stuff all the time, that's where your money goes, take a flask of tea or coffee and half the job is done.
Absolutely a magical beautiful place ❤❤❤
Beautiful. I’ll never be able to get there, so it’s wonderful to see. It’s a pity they defiled the approach with those money-making monstrosities (sorry, a moan 😅), but once past them, it looks incredible. Thanks again for sharing!
I visited Lands End on 22nd of December 2023,
after doing the Winter Solstice at Stonehenge,
I got there at about 11 o'clock at night,
JEEZE, it was incredibly windy and so dark,
even with a powerful torch, I could just about see the sea,
it was raging too, NICE ONE.
I have to mention, that,
there is a reliable Gridserve fast Electric Vehicle charging point at Lands End,
the next decent one north on the A30
is at Strawberry Fields farm shop just past Launceston,
that's about 70 miles from Lands End.
Fab info thank you 🙏
I remember the First & the last house from when I visited Lands End back in 2017!
It brought back memories I went in September time I think & all those shops were open then & there was quite abit more people around when I went.
Its a lovely peaceful place you really do feel like your at the end of Britain there!
Fantastic shots of the Lands End Sign & the views looking out to sea Neil.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have always wanted to see Land’s End! Always! It was wonderful!
You are so welcome!
Boy oh Boy what a change from the Lands End i visited 50 yrs ago, all i remember was a Hotel that read : The last Hotel in England & nothing else !
The best travel show on british television, can't wait for the next tour
Thank you Keith!
@@GimbalWalkTV P.S when you decide to by a new pair of trainer shoes let me know and I will buy the old ones, because they have taken you to some of the most spectacular and beautiful towns, villages and cities on the British Isles, by the way
Lovely to see Land's End again. I was there fifty odd years ago when you couldn't even buy a tea towel! We went walking and didn't need signs to warn us that cliffs are dangerous we kind of figured it out for ourselves.I feel so sorry that the natural beauty of our landscape is high jacked by money making rubbish. Ten pounds to take a photograph of the famous sign? Dear God.
Lands End outstanding amazing landscape 👍
It really is!
its best to see without all the tourists
Agreed
I agree with @johngoodwin34 below...i remember Lands End just having the first and last house and the signpost and nothing else...much better back then than it is now...! Great Video though..
Again THANK YOU Neil, my family and I really do love Land's End, it's a beautiful place we were in awe! Can I ask you please what is the name of the music you use through this and other videos?
Very best wishes
Lands End was awesome. Outstanding landscape
It is!
Must be thirty years since I last went to Lands End, doesn't seem to have changed at all, even the shops and attractions look similar I remember there was one attraction with some sea monster which looks now to be the Wallace and Grommet attraction. I have a video probably made in 1988/89 when my children were quite small. I did wonder why a private family would own the Lands End sign then all was clear with the £10 charge for a bloody photo. Everyone cashing in in this world. My feeling is, it's a place to visit once, but it's so far away from anything else worth visiting in Cornwall, I wouldn't rush back maybe once every 35 years is about right. Makes you wonder what will replace Wallace and Grommet in the future. To answer the question about the moaners, you need to bear in mind, that most people who visit lands End probably have children and they are generally not interested in the view, lovely though it is and it's not a cheap day out if you have a handful of kids, wanting to see the promotions, have an icecream and probably lunch. I was left feeling last time that they could have done more with the space they have, but clearly it's doing the business, if not in January. I would guess though that considering how many people go to Cornwall year after year for their holidays, few probably go back to Lands End very often.
I can’t imagine why anybody would still go to Lands End. It has been dreadful for years. One of the most beautiful and significant points of Cornwall ( western most tip of England ) turned into a mini Blackpool.
Went last year, only paid to park didn't buy anything. Was a bit of a tacky tourist trap but if you just want to go there and have a walk about its not too badly priced.
The coastline is lovely but in the summer this would be too crowded for me.
Lands End is the most westerly point of mainland England, but Ardnamurchan point in Scotland is the most westerly in the UK. I like it more there than Cornwall.
😎We can recommend the RETURN Bus Journey from Penzance as value for money, take a picnic on board to avoid the wind - it worked for us :Old Folks!
Great shout!
Beautiful !!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for watching
Beautiful
35 years since i was last there
Still the same basically 15:12
Great video neil the scenery is amazing thanks for showing us around
Thanks 👍 was windy one!
Stunning video Neil I watched a video on longships lighthouse a dangerous lighthouse to be on it was film by the lighthouse keeper in 1997 think I'll stay onland
I was expecting to find more people there's nobody here and nothing is open... The scenery is absolutely stunning. I grew up in northern California and this very much reminds me of home
Remember this was filmed first thing on a freezing cold January morning
@Gimbal Walk TV Oh OK. If I want to go when no one is around, this seems like the perfect time of year to go
Lands End is an incredible place, shame about the hideous buildings, probably the worst kind of urbanisation of a national beauty spot you could imagine. But still worth a visit.
The last time l was there in 2022, it cost me £12 for 2 ice creams, cheeky buggers 😆
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Thankyou for this x We are going to Cornwall in May and were wondering if it is worth the trip from Callington to Lands End. We now know it is...just for that stunning scenery x
Thanks Alyson - have a great time when you go!
That's not the original sign, the white post next to it is the real one which they take down in the winter otherwise they would be letting tourists photo for free....
True!
Hi Neil are you visiting Cornwall in the summer this year? 😀
I am!
@@GimbalWalkTV will you be going to Falmouth, the tall ships race is there in August
I'm intrigued, I have a gimbal but I'm just wondering what camera your using? I'm currently using a s22 ultra, and my shot don't look anything like yours 😢. I've changed the settings but still not as clear.
I colour correct and spend ages adjusting the colours afterwards
@@GimbalWalkTV are you using a gopro or phone?
Christ ,its become like a themepark
You can just wander round the side of it though - I was just doing the walkthrough showing what it’s like if you head into that bit
From the car park you can head straight to the cliff top
Is the Aardman experience a permanent show?
Not sure - I think so?
Nothing says contemptuous commercialism more than having a Wallace and grommet at lands end
So true
what is the noise
Wind
Never been……rather glad I haven’t as looks awful. Won’t be going…..EVER!
They've ruined the damned place through commercialism. Is nothing sacred?
It now looks like a dog's breakfast.
JUST A BIG TOURIST RIP OFF .
I didn’t spend a single penny other than a couple of quid for car park
@@GimbalWalkTV the minimum price to park there is now 7 quid
OH my word that's mad!@@ronnietwelvetoes1876
