SHOW MENULand's End Cachets
Introduction
The place is most often referred to in the well‑known phrase "Land's End to John o' Groats" which denotes the entirety of Great Britain – i.e. everything between the extreme southwest and northeast tips, a distance of about 838 miles by road. There are signposts showing this at both ends of the journey!
It has long been a popular tourist destination, although the modern theme park development was begun in the 1980s by then owner Peter de Savary and continued by later owners.
Land's End was one of the earliest locations to have tourist cachets. A few dozen different types have been used over the years, referencing the place itself or local features of interest such as the place of refreshment, the "First and Last House".
This is a small sample of the many cachets that have been used, both handstamped and printed.
