Features Sneak Peek: November 9, 2019


sneak peek

This week’s sneak peek starts in South-West Cornwall, as Neil McAllister makes the journey to the ever impressive Land’s End.

Starting in England’s largest fishing port, Newlyn, Neil’s expedition covers the many notable spots surrounding Land’s End, including the historical Merry Maidens, the stunning open air Minack Theatre and quaint coastal village Sennen Cove.

Neil walks us through the history of Newlyn. He tells us how England’s largest fishing port came to be, and the perhaps lesser known story of the arts and crafts hub which has been central to the port for many years.

Neil’s journey to Land’s End is illustrated with many candid photographs which show off the charm of the Cornish coast.
