This location in Cornwall is one of the UK's most well-known tourist spots, but frustrated visitors have called it a "total rip-off" and an "over-commercialised dump."
Famous for its stunning ocean views as the most westerly point of England, it has faced criticism online, with some calling it the "worst" tourist spot in the UK and advising people to "avoid it like the plague."
While the site offers breathtaking coastal views, it has expanded into a holiday complex featuring attractions like mini golf, a 4D cinema, and a farm.
However, many online reviews have been negative, particularly about the prices and whether the experience is worth the cost.
On Tripadvisor, Land's End has an average three-star rating, with over 1,000 people giving it a one-star review, many complaining about the expensive parking.
In response to the complaints, a spokesperson for Heritage GB explained: "The car parking fees at Land’s End are similar to other local parking options.
These fees go directly towards maintaining and preserving this iconic 100-acre location, ensuring it stays enjoyable for future visitors."
One of the highlights of Land's End is its famous signpost, which shows the distance to places like New York and the Isles of Scilly. It remains a popular spot for tourists.
However, visitors now have to pay £10.50 to take a photo with the signpost, a fee that has upset many guests.
One Tripadvisor reviewer expressed their frustration, saying: "The parking charge is ridiculously high, with a minimum fee of £8."
