Coasteering at Land’s End – Our Advanced Route for Experienced Coasteerers

Cornwall’s Most Challenging Coasteering Adventure

We are proud to present the ultimate coasteering adventure — tackling the exposed granite cliffs of Land’s End, Cornwall, the most westerly point in mainland Britain. With nothing between you and the open Atlantic, this is coasteering at its most committing. If you’re fit, confident in the water, and looking for adrenaline activities in Cornwall, this trip is for you.

Big Jumps. Bigger Scenery.

This isn’t about jump height — it’s the exposure, the views, and the sheer scale of the cliffs and sea arches that set this route apart.

No location in Cornwall matches the sheer drama of Land’s End. Here, golden granite cliffs plunge into the Atlantic, sculpted into arches, zawns and ledges that only reveal themselves at water level. It’s a place most people only view from above — but we take you to places the clifftop crowds never see.

We don’t run this route often. It takes the right sea state and the right group — but when it all lines up, it’s unforgettable. For confident coasteerers who want something few others will ever experience, this is the one to wait for.

Of course, not everyone is ready for something this exposed — and that’s fine. If you’re just starting out, we offer beginner-friendly coasteering sessions designed for first-timers and families. Or, if you’re after something a little less intense than Land’s End, our our regular open sessions on Cornwall’s south coast are ideal for a wide range of abilities.

So whether you’re chasing extreme experiences or simply exploring things to do near Land’s End, we’ll help you find the right adventure — and the right sea conditions — to make it happen. Got questions? Just get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Had a fantastic time coasteering at Land’s End. Would definitely do it again.

Cornwall’s Most Challenging Coasteering Route

Land’s End means sheer cliffs, amazing coastal features, and nowhere to hide. Are you up for the challenge?

Exploring the Land’s End Coasteering Route

Coasteering at the End of the World

From the moment you descend the golden cliffs of Land’s End, everything changes. The crowds are gone, the Atlantic stretches to the horizon, and it’s just your group — navigating the edge of the UK on one of the most extreme coasteering routes in Cornwall.

This route isn’t a loop. It’s a linear journey along some of the most dramatic terrain in Cornwall: plunging zawns, sea stacks, echoing arches, and wave-washed slabs. Expect teamwork, commitment, and sections that can’t be turned back from.

Some features are unique to this place — like the towering cathedral caves, luminous grottos, and the infamous Ghost Train: a dark, narrow tunnel where you battle the tide just to make it through.

You’ll finish by scrambling up the final headland near Gamper Hole, tired but buzzing. This isn’t just a session — it’s a real coastal journey. This is a more demanding alternative to our main coasteering route at Praa Sands — Land’s End is ideal for confident swimmers and thrill-seekers.

Requirements for Land’s End Coasteering

This is the most challenging coasteering route we offer — and one of the most serious adrenaline activities in Cornwall. It’s long, physical, and committing, with no easy way out once you begin. But if you’re up for it, it’s one of the most rewarding outdoor experiences in the UK.

To join us at Land’s End, you must:

  • Be at least 16 years old
  • Be able to swim 200m unassisted in a pool
  • Have coasteered before in tidal, swell-affected conditions — ideally with us
  • Be comfortable with heights and scrambling (a rope can be provided on the final climb if needed)

How Does Land’s End Coasteering Work?

Land’s End is one of the most exposed points on the Cornish coast, so we can only run this session when conditions are exceptionally calm. That’s why you’ll only see it available for online booking a few days in advance, once we’re confident the swell forecast is suitable. If it’s not listed, just get in touch to express your interest — we’ll do what we can to make it happen.

To guarantee a session, we recommend booking onto one of our standard routes first. If the conditions line up during your stay, we’ll offer you the chance to upgrade to Land’s End — often on a different day or at a different time, depending on the tides.

Your flexibility makes all the difference. We’ll monitor the forecast closely and let you know if a window opens up. If you’re keen, just let us know when booking or reach out with any questions — and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Still Wondering if It’s Right for You?

Here are the answers to common questions we get about the Land’s End route — and what sets it apart.

This isn’t your typical sea-level traverse. The Land’s End route is longer, more exposed, and far more physical than most other options in Cornwall — one of the boldest adrenaline activities Cornwall has to offer. It’s also the closest thing to the raw, exploratory coasteering we do as part of our wider mission at Kernow Coasteering. Check out our coasteering videos to see real adventures from Cornwall and around the world.

Yes. You must be 16 or older, confident in the sea, able to swim 200m, and have done coasteering before. This is the most demanding Cornwall extreme sports options we run — not suitable for first-timers.

It’s certainly the most serious option we offer — and one of the few genuine extreme coasteering experiences in the UK. If you’re after something less intense, take a look at an overview of all our coasteering experiences.

If you’re into climbing, this area is legendary. From granite sea cliffs to wild slabs, it’s a must-visit for anyone seeking adrenaline activities in Cornwall. See our guided rock climbing sessions for more options near the headland.

Some of the best sea caves in the region are found right here — echoing chambers, long swim-throughs, and wild formations. We cover several of them in our Top 10 Sea Caves in West Cornwall blog. Few things to do in Land’s End get you this close to the terrain.

We usually run it during spring, summer or early autumn, but only if a swell window opens. Even if it’s not available, there are plenty of things to do near Land’s End to make the trip worthwhile.

 

Due to swell exposure, this session only appears online a few days in advance. If you don’t see it listed, contact us to express your interest. We recommend booking a standard session, letting us know about your interest in this route, and we’ll offer an upgrade if the forecast allows.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Lace-up shoes like trainers — no slip-ons or reef shoes
  • A pair of shorts to wear over the wetsuit for comfort and protection
  • Your swimming kit and a towel

We’ll provide you with a winter wetsuit, helmet, and buoyancy aid.

We meet in the main Land’s End car park — look out for the Kernow Coasteering van. Please note that Land’s End charges for parking, and this is not included in the activity price.

Absolutely — but skip the theme park. The coast path from Sennen to Porthcurno is one of the best walks in the UK, with views that outshine anything inside the tourist complex. For wild beauty, it’s hard to top this stretch of Land’s End Cornwall.
