| Local Area |
| Trowan is an ancient hamlet situated on the idyllic inland route from St Ives to Zennor. It lies just ¾ mile to the west of St Ives in a spectacular cliff top location with sweeping views in all directions over the sea and pretty countryside. It is found at the end of its own Cornish lane which branches from the main St Ives to Lands End road. There is footpath access to the main Coast Path and National Trust land. |
| St Ives town centre is just a short walk away. The walk to Zennor along the cliff in the opposite direction is one of the most scenic in Cornwall. Zennor, with its wayside pubs, folk museum and stream-side cafe is well worth a visit. Open top buses run from Lands End to St Ives, through Zennor and other beautiful old farming hamlets on this coastline. |
| St Ives has five beaches - six at low tide - and is a paradise for children, swimmers, and surfers who make for Porthmeor beach. The ancient fishing village with its cobbled streets offers an eclectic mix of tiny shops, galleries and museums. |

| Harbour-side cafes and restaurants offer a fantastic range of eating, from fish and chips to high class cuisine at beachside restaurants at Porthmeor and Porthminster. St Ives has long been home to a working community of artists and sculptors, drawn to the coast of west Cornwall by the quality of its light and of the translucent colours of the sea. Tate St. Ives is the flagship of Cornish contemporary art. The sculptor Barbara Hepworth also lived and worked here, and the Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden celebrates her work. |
| Local activities include surfing lessons, sailing from St Ives harbour, horse riding and pony trekking from stables nearby.From St Ives harbour you can take a boat along the rocky coastline to the west and see seals and dolphins. Penzance and Marazion with the fantastic St Michael's Mount are eight miles away, and the famous Minack Theatre at Porthcurno only a short drive in the direction of Lands End. |
