Cornwall National Landscape

Cornwall National Landscape is unique, it is the only AONB that has 12 separate sections. It includes most of Cornwalls world-renowned coastline, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a host of natural and heritage features. The north sections range from dramatic headlands, to extensive rolling dunes. The south coast is softer with sheltered coves and picturesque fishing villages. Between the two lies the granite intrusions around Land’s End, rocks rich in minerals that have been mined for centuries and the old engine house chimneys still stand sentinel against the sky, emphaisising the wild isolated character of the coastline. Land’s End Hostel is situated in the small hamlet of Trevescan, just 1/2 mile from the coast. Converted from a Mill Barn it provides warm and well equipped private hostel rooms with a shared fully equipped kitchen and a summerhouse to lounge in.
