Land’s End opens new £800,000 attraction in major investment to iconic landmark

Land’s End have launched a major new £800,000 immersive indoor adventure golf attraction, The Lost Treasure of Lyonesse, as ticket sales continue to soar.

The Lost Treasure of Lyonesse – based on traditional Cornish legend – is a 15-hole indoor course with a variety of interactive elements, voice overs, sounds and smells. There are also several hidden features to add fresh drama and excitement to each round.

Players can also take advantage of a themed bar, with golfers able to take drinks around the course.

The iconic Land’s End welcomes more than half-a-million visitors each year, offering popular family attractions such as Aardman Presents: A Grand Experience, which steps into the life-size world of Aardman characters such as Wallace & Gromit, Shaun The Sheep and Morph.

Alongside the world-famous signpost, Land’s End visitors can also enjoy the 4D cinema, Greeb Farm and a wide variety of eateries.

At Greeb Farm, the 200-year-old farmstead, visitors can interact with a multitude of small animals, including sheep, goats, rabbits, pigs, ferrets and even miniature ponies. The 4D cinema experience, meanwhile, transports you into the middle of the Jolly Roger story with squirting water, air blasts, seat movement and much more.

Land’s End offers visitors the opportunity to purchase a Lyonesse Package ticket starting at £15 for children and £20 for adults, in which visitors can enjoy all four of the stunning attractions. Individual golf experience tickets are priced at £6.50 for children and £7.50 for adults.

With photographic proof of address, Cornish residents can take advantage of a 50% discount on all attractions as well as free parking when registered.

Land’s End also offers spaces for private hire and evening events for families and adults, while plans are being made for evening openings. Further events and information will be announced via the Land’s End social media pages.

Following the opening of The Lost Treasure of Lyonesse golf experience, Land’s End General Manager Trevor Broome said:

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new indoor adventure golf attraction at Land’s End.

“We believe The Lost Treasure of Lyonesse has a strong sense of place within the area, with the course rooted deeply in Cornish myth and legend.

“The attraction, like our other family experiences, is one of its kind in Cornwall and our substantial investment guarantees an unprecedented level of quality and detail.

“We have worked hard to create an experience that is fun, challenging and engaging for everyone.

Snowdon Mountain Railway trains return to summit for first time since 2019 after historic upgrade

Snowdon Mountain Railway trains will return to the summit of Snowdon this summer for the first time since 2019.

Hafod Eryri, the popular summit visitor centre, will also re-open its doors to the public after a historic upgrade to the track.

The iconic Snowdon Mountain Railway trains have not run to the summit for over three years, originally due to Covid-19, before upper mountain track upgrades began.

The work was a significant first for the famous Snowdon, with over 1,000 metres of track being relayed in a successful refurbishment of the popular tourist attraction.

While Snowdon Mountain Railway opened its doors for the 2023 season on April 1st, the service has only travelled ¾ of the distance to the summit, ending at Clogwyn Station.

But due to the triumphant enhancements of the line, Snowdon Mountain Railway will return to the summit to much fanfare on June 27th as the much-loved Hafod Eryri also reopens to the public.

Snowdon Mountain Railway has also completed a widespread recruitment drive for the improved service.

Vince Hughes, Commercial Manager at Snowdon Mountain Railway, is excited for a busy 2023 season after a ‘historic and successful undertaking’.

He said: “We are extremely excited to once again offer our visitors the full journey to the summit of Snowdon, and to welcome passengers and walkers back to Hafod Eryri.

“With over 1,000 metres of line relayed for the enhancement and long-term improvement of the Snowdon Mountain Railway service, this was a historic and successful undertaking.

“Our operations and commercial teams have worked incredibly hard in preparation for our trains returning to the summit, and we are looking forward to a busy few months ahead.

“This is a massively exciting time for Snowdon Mountain Railway and we have plenty to look forward to!”

The railway runs for 4.7 miles from Llanberis to the summit of Snowdon and is the only rack and pinion railway in the UK.

It is a seasonal attraction which operates from April until the end of October.

Bookings from Llanberis station to Snowdon summit can be made online at www.snowdonrailway.co.uk
