St Ives is a historic town, famed for its beaches like Porthmeor for surfing and Porthminster, which sits alongside its famous art scene and stunning coastal walks with scenery that inspired Rosamunde Pilcher and Virginia Woolf amongst others. St Ives has a wide range of outdoor activities including surfing, paddle boarding, tennis and golf.
St Ives is a World famous art scene and is home to the Tate, pictured below, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, St Ives Arts Club, Leach Pottery and much more.
I also came here with my family as a young child for a holiday, and so was very interested to revisit this charming town. I really enjoyed wondering through the narrow lanes and pottering in the quirky shops. There’s something about walking down memory lane!
