There are references on the park information boards to Land’s End, but I’m dubious. Looking to sea from here on the cape I know more of this huge country is out there; Nova Scotia lies some 500km to the south-east, while Newfoundland is due east. But it feels like Finisterre, I’ll give them that. And the name Gaspé does come from the Mi'kmaq word gespe'g, meaning 'end'. Land’s End or not, there’s no doubt this is one evocative headland, with an interesting history to boot; the Breton explorer Jacques Cartier landed in Gaspé Bay in 1534 to claim the land for France. No wonder then that Gaspésie is often described as the Birthplace of Canada. But I guess the descendants of the Mi'kmaq and all the First Nations would have something to say about that.
