The sad decline of Lands End..
Discussion
When I first visited Lands End in the 1960's, it was completely unspoiled, a small carpark, tranquillity and views out to sea.
These days, it is the site of a concrete monstrosity, a mish mash of tacky tourist shops, a blot on the landscape.
Time is far better spent visiting the magnificent Minack Theatre three or four miles away

Do you not see the potential irony in your suggestion 
Land's end probably only got to be the way it is now because people said:
"go and visit lands end - it's tranquil and unspoilt"
......so loads of people did
The problem with "tranquil and unspoilt" is that it usually stops being the case as soon as you throw people into the mix.
Well yes, I appreciate it's catch 22, but I'm sure they could have come up with something a bit more pleasing to the eye....Land's end probably only got to be the way it is now because people said:
