Land's End has a particular resonance because it is often used to suggest distance. Land's End to John o' Groats in Scotland is a distance of 838 miles (1,349 km) by road and this Land's End to John o' Groats distance is often used to define races, walks or charitable events in the UK.

The Longships, a group of rocky islets are just over a mile offshore of Land's End, and the Isles of Scilly lie approximately 28 miles (45 km) southwest– the mythical lost land of Lyonesse (referred to in Arthurian literature) was supposedly located between Scilly and the mainland.
