Alone in the Dark at Land's End

[@shirleypettigrew1483]

The photographs of the night sky were stunning.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Shirley 🙏

[@Christine-xq9ep]

Its changed since 1986 when I went. What an amazing picture of the night sky and the milky way! 😮 incredible! xx

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Christine.

[@gailhickman743]

I went there years ago and none of those buildings, shops, phone boxes etc were there. It's sad that places like this are commercialized to make money. Your photos are amazing! 💕

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yeah it is a bit of a disappointment that the place has been taken over for commercial gain.

"Strictly no parking between midnight and 04.00am" 😭2:37

[@tuvaaq]

Must have been a long time ago, they were there when I lived that way in 2001. TBH, I don't think it's a bad thing, Lands End is not very picturesque and without the attractions there's really not much to do apart from a photo op by the sign. Better that the local economy is supported rather than just blighted by heavy traffic in the summer months...

[@gailhickman743]

@@tuvaaq It certainly was a long time ago, about 1980/81 I think, lol.

[@tuvaaq]

Sounds about right, I think the family owners sold the land in '82 to a millionaire for about £3 mill who then flipped it a few years later to another property developer for £7 million. Now it's owned by a company that also owns John O Groats and runs the Snowdon Mountain railway & cafe.

[@waynepaxford7263]

Excellent video and excellent photo great work Stephen it bu scary at nigth time I can't wait for next video Stephen I hope you and your family and friends are well and safe

[@juliec70]

Wow great video Stephen, wow you can box of tea bags for a price of that cup if tea , looke very spooky , fantastic pics 😊 x

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

That is true Julie x

[@Glamrockqueen]

I really enjoyed this video Stephen. Somewhere I've never been, but would love to go. I adore sitting out at night in the dark, just looking up at the night sky. I'd say you captured it perfectly x

[@Richard-gk3kq]

Nice video, changed a lot since I visited 40yrs ago.

[@101Waylander]

Once the area was bought out the whole area changed. There used to be a nice pup with live music, and it was free parking. Once they changed everything they added attractions and charged a small fortune to go in. You had no choice as they didn’t separate the price for those who just wanted to park and walk around. So many cars did what we did and just told them to stuff it and turned around and left. They soon separated the charge for parking from the attractions. But now they charge a lot for the attractions and have bumped up the parking charge beyond reasonable. Greed is out of control. My wife and I are going to be in Cornwall in September, staying in Mullion. We usually pop in to Lands End, but at those prices we will probably give it a miss. I will be taking my telescope to get some great views of the planets at night. Thank you for the video.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Mullion is a nice little place. I remember seeing the Milky Way galactic core from there in August 2014, that was 5 years after I started stargazing properly.

[@Shaunsfavourites]

Wow! Thank you.

[@roygardiner2229]

Great idea, sir! It certainly was spooky. The night sky photos were excellent.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Roy.

[@dawnoakley1776]

What a great vlogg 🎉 Weve been to Lands End and parked just up the road about half a mile back for free The Minack open air theatre is a must to visit Stephen , its not that far from Land End x

[@neilhilton35]

We also park there each time we go. It's Trevescan just off the A30 as you say about half a mile back. 10 minutes walk to Lands End.

[@martindowns4979]

That's one hell of a journey mate

[@mildredschulz]

Great video Stephen well done. Going there in the dark nobody else about, I would be scared there all by myself. Your photos of the night sky are fantastic. It’s a very expensive place. But interesting. I’ve never been there come from the near from Blackpool. You have been all over the country, take care of yourself and stay safe.see you in your next video ❤️👍❤️

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Mildred 👍

[@dazmc7744]

Glad you enjoyed

[@imogenharrison3432]

Park up at St Erth park and ride, get the bus to Land's End via St Ives. Amazing scenery, and it costs £5 return. Utter mad to park at Land's End.

[@kathleenmccarroll3755]

Really good Steven it's very quaint lovely scenery

[@bryannightingale5442]

Absolutely brilliant Steve especially the pics of the night sky there’re a credit to you. I could never take pictures like that.

[@ianriches5545]

Love that you did this video Stephen. I went on hol last year to Sennen which is 10 minute stroll along the cliff past that 1st Last house. Theres a rusting ship wreck to see half way between. We stay at the holiday cottages right at the top on the lands end path called Longships watch. Lands end comes alive in the evening during july and August twice a week with live music and epic fireworks display with soundshow played out over loudspeakers saying the ztory of the giants that formed cornwall and st Michaels mount. Its amazing and the crowds gather on the cliff there watching it. Sennen is amazing for body boarding. Hope you hD. Look there on your travels. It was so good were going again this Aug. I did many walks across the those cliffs past that 1st last house in the dark to the bar in the hotel which was our nearest one.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Sennen is a lovely little place. I visited it for the first time on my trip.

[@malcplant6555]

Great video Stephen we went in the seventies just a sign for a free photo nr the sign. Your night photos were fantastic, you know how to use a camera, thank you ,

Hi stephen very expensive down there at lands end interesting place though

[@Goldie644]

[@SimonM-63]

Amazing video, Steve. Well done 👏 👏

[@robbflynn4325]

Amazing photographs. Love nighttime photography. Did a lot of it before everything went digital. Recall visiting Land's End with my parents back in the late 70s. No rip-off parking or charging for standing by the sign back then.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Wish it was still the same.

Great vid Stephen, had a paid picture at the old sign in 2001 walking the SW Coastal Path, sent home to Blackpool but my family lost it. The smudges pack the wooden sign away after close of business and stick out the simpler metal one.

Never been there myself Steve, but your video makes me want to go. Maybe one day. The quality of the video was fantastic and the milky way really stood out. Now waiting to find out where you'll next. Take care and carry on regardless 😁

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I've got a tip. Park at nearby Sennen Cove & walk over. It'll be a nice walk and the car park much cheaper.

[@dianeroscoe1220]

Well Stephen what a totally awesome vid, loved it. So informative creative educational and lots scenes. Looks lovely but. What one brave guy you are ! All credit goes to you, venturing in the dark, with no one there but you ! Looked spooky in strange sort of way. The last house in England looked full of character, bet it’s haunted tho ! Lol. I’ve never been there but always wanted to doubt I will honestly ever go. But looks well worth the experience. Photo of night sky incredible. Once again thanks for a superb tuning in to your channel. Love Di xx

I went there years ago before it was privately owned. Parts of you video were quite spooky. At the end of the day there is more to do in Blackpool.

How Lands end has changed from when i was there you never had to pay to take a photo of the sign for one thing i still have my photograph and the first and last house, and as far as i can remember there was no charge for parking your car, it has got very commercialised now it is a beautiful place however no chance i will ever go back though it is a long drive to get there certainly from Blackpool.....i love the photo's which you took .

[@Sr19769p]

If I had heard so much as a rustle in the bushes out there on my own, I would have thought 'Sidhe - Phooka from Celtic folklore 😱' whereas in fact it would probably have been a sleepless rabbit or loose crisp bag! Wasn't sure if you were gonna make us all jump out our skins at some point with some scary surprise! Strange you didn't get collared by security in some form. A bit Blair Witch, this one. Hope the cows didn't get you on the way back! Loved the sounds of the sea and the breathtakingly beautiful photography: bangin'. Tbh, you're probably safer there than in the wrong pub at the wrong time with the wrong people in certain areas of Blackpool on a Sat night. Top work, Pal. Keep the spooky vibe goin'! 👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Surprised there was no security, but it is a public right-of-way, so they wouldn't be able to stop me.
