Welcome to our flat - the first thing we wanted to show you was the panoramic view above, taken from the lounge window. We hope you like it as much as we do...and we're only five minutes walk from the world famous Tate Gallery!

St Ives is one of Britain's most attractive sea side resorts. It has an international reputation as a centre of art with the fine modern building of the Tate Gallery overlooking Porthmeor Beach. There are several other reputable Art Galleries including the Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (this is part of the Tate Gallery visit). The town is full of narrow cobbled flower filled streets with old fishermans' cottages. There are a wide variety of shops, friendly pubs and numerous good restaurants. The beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag Award by the Tidy Britain Group year after year and a Seaside Award for the superb surfing beach at Porthmeor. This is an ideal family beach as it has lifeguards and good beach cafes.

Getting there: There is a direct rail line from London (Paddington) to Penzance. You change at St. Erth for St. Ives. This is a picturesque line running along the coast and calling at Lelant, Carbis Bay and terminating at St. Ives. There is also a coach from London (Victoria) but it is a long journey.
By foot - from the railway station, walk into town, past church, along Fore Street, turn left after Union Inn, by Fudge Shop. Up hill, bear right. Barnoon Terrace is on the first right.

By car: There is a large car park 2 minutes from the flat. The charge is £10 per week in low season. It is above the Tate, approached best from the rear of town. (follow brown signs for Tate until you reach cemetery wall at top of hill, then continue straight on for car park.). To make quick deliveries by back door, carry on past car park entrance, then turn right. Number 7 is the entrance second after the postbox, just before Bowling Green Lane (which brings you back to the car park). Once you get to St. Ives you hardly need a car as there is so much to do so close at hand.

St. Ives harbour is a focus for the town with a working harbour. There are boat trips to Seal Island and trips on the gaff rig Dolly Pentreath around the harbour. The St Ives Museum is full of interesting material describing the history of the fishing industry in the town etc. There are marvellous walks along the Cornish Coastal Footpath to Zennor (D.H. Lawrence lived here).
