Location

In recent years St Ives has become one of Europe's premier holiday destinations, famed for its beautiful beaches, coastal paths, Mediterranean quality of light and maze of narrow cobbled streets, filled with an eclectic range of shops, restaurants, bars and galleries, including The Tate, and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. The town is renowned for its artist community and was once the home and inspiration for artists and ceramicists such as: Leach, Whistler, Nicholson, Turner, Hepworth and Wallis.
There is a picturesque harbour where you can watch local fishing boats return with their catch. If you are lucky, you may spot seals or dolphins in the bay. There are five glorious, sandy beaches, including the nearby Carbis Bay and the famous surfing beach of Porthmeor which is overlooked by The Tate. The beautiful coastal paths from St Ives are a treat for walkers and bird watchers.
