世界的尽头?不完全是 The end? Not quite.
兰兹角,康沃尔,英格兰
欢迎来到英格兰康沃尔的兰兹角,这里有狂风呼啸的悬崖、崎岖不平的美景和蔚为壮观的海景!从古希腊时代起,它就被称为“Belerion”(闪闪发光的土地)或是“太阳之地”,或出现在亚瑟王传奇中提到的失落之地“里昂内斯”中,兰兹角一直是一个令人神往的地方。它是英国大陆最西南的地点,最出名的是被设为慈善跑步比赛的起点或终点,路线从最西南端的兰兹角到英国北海的约翰奥格罗茨,贯穿了整个大不列颠岛。
来到兰兹角,首先映入眼帘的是耸立在汹涌海浪上的悬崖峭壁。数千年来,大海侵蚀着这些花岗岩壁,形成了英国最引人注目的海岸线之一。这些悬崖是西南海岸步道的一部分,该步道长630英里,从萨默塞特郡的迈恩黑德一直延伸到多塞特郡的普尔,深受徒步旅行者的喜爱。今天的图片中的康沃尔天涯海角小径就是这条步道的一部分,由于康沃尔温和的沿海气候和靠近大西洋,这里很少下雪。因此,无论您来这里徒步旅行、放松身心,或者只是如履薄冰地在悬崖上站一站,兰兹角都是一个令人难忘的地方。
Land's End, Cornwall, England
Windswept cliffs, rugged beauty, and dramatic ocean views—welcome to Land's End in Cornwall, England. Since ancient Greek times, when it was known as 'Belerion' or 'Place of the Sun,' or in Arthurian legends about the lost land of Lyonesse, Land's End has always been a place of fascination. Land's End is the most southwestern point on mainland Britain. It's often the starting point or end of charity races that run the length of the island of Great Britain from Land's End to John o'Groats at Britain's northeastern tip.
The first thing you'll notice about Land's End is the cliffs towering above the crashing waves. The sea carved these granite walls over millennia, creating one of the most striking coastlines in the United Kingdom. These cliffs are part of the South West Coast Path, a 630-mile trail popular among hikers that runs from Minehead in Somerset to Poole in Dorset. The Cornish Coastal Path, featured in today's image, is a section of this trail, and snow here is a rare occurrence because of Cornwall's mild coastal climate and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. So, whether you're here to hike, relax, or just stand at the frozen edge, Land's End is a memorable cliffhanger.
