Significant events
- “The 2024 season was against the backdrop of continued cost of living pressures in the UK and poor summer weather. Visitor numbers were overall in line with the prior season but did fall short of budgeted expectations particularly at the Land's End site.”
- “For the 2025 season, the key attraction of the Needles chairlift has continued to receive significant expenditure to refurbish this key asset and is supported by a comprehensive upgrade to the site entrance and signage. At other sites, investment has been more modest and been focussed on a wide range of smaller projects.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
