World's End

Liz West took this photo of World's End in Hingham last fall.

World's End was once an island, but is now a gorgeous property maintained by the Trustees of Reservations. Landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted, it consists of approximately 250 acres of paths, meadows, woodlands, and seascapes.

Visit World's End:

The retreating glacier helped create the geology of Boston Harbor, including the islands and the four spoon-shaped hills (called drumlins) that comprise World's End. This landscape also features saltwater marshes, meadows, woodlands, and granite ledges covered with red cedars and blueberry thickets.
