History

YHA Land’s End has been a hostel since 1939, having been built as a private home in the early 20th century and it still has the original fireplaces in the common room and dining room. The hostel and grounds are set within the Cornish Mining Heritage Site on the side of the Cot Valley with views down to the sea and walks to the coast, St Just, and the wild moorlands of Penwith.

Now a peaceful valley famous for spotting rare migratory birds, the valley was once heavily industrialised during the late 19th century tin mining boom and the relics are all within walking distance of the hostel. More ancient remains include the Ballowall Barrow – a chambered cairn dating from the late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age – set high above the valley.

Meet the team

Manager recommends: When the swell drops head for a secret wild swimming spot! We know of a few along the coast that are well worth exploring, a couple are just a short stroll from the hostel, so pack your swimmers, a picnic lunch and leave the crowds behind. If it's an activity break you're after, hit the beach for some surfing holiday fun. If you're a 'twitcher' there are some great spots for bird watching. Sennen Farmers’ Market on a Tuesday has been voted the best farmers’ market in Cornwall for the last couple of years. Visit to pick up local food and craft wares.
