Best Things to Do in St Ives
"26/05/2021: Just out of lockdown I wanted good food and a great vibe. Got this in masses here. Staff super friendly and attentive, amazing burger and tacos, the sticky toffee pudding was one of the best I've tasted in a long time."
"From the Artist Residence portfolio (which also runs boutique hotels in Oxford, Brighton and London), this smokehouse, bar and restaurant-with-rooms occupie ..."
"Looming up in the middle of Mount's Bay and connected to the mainland at Marazion via a cobbled causeway, this abbey-crowned island is an unforgettable sight, and one of Cornwall's most iconic images. Initially a Benedictine monastery, and later the seat of the St Aubyn family, it's a must-visit. You can catch the ferry (adult/child £2/1) from Marazion at high tide, but it's worth arriving at low tide so you can walk across the causeway, as pilgrims did centuries ago."
"St Michael’s Mount – Accessible by a man made causeway, the Mount (as the locals call it) is a tidal island just off the coast that is home to a small population of about 35 people. On your visit, explore the small village and head to the castle at the summit for spectacular views."

"Grandly located at the head of the Fal estuary, 4 miles south of Truro, Trelissick is one of Cornwall's most beautiful aristocratic estates, with a formal garden filled with magnolias and hydrangeas, surrounded by a huge expanse of green fields and parkland criss-crossed by trails. The grand, 19th-century neo-Palladian house has been reopened to the public, and hosts exhibitions exploring the estate's history. If you just want to explore the estate grounds, parking costs £4."
"It's a bit of a drive from Falmouth but this gorgeous kitchen garden near Constantine is well worth the detour. Rescued from dilapidation by its current owners, it's been renovated by volunteers into a delightful working garden modelled on the French 'potager'. Highlights include the 30m greenhouse and the super veggie cafe, which is very popular with lunching locals at weekends (mains £6 to £10). There's always a good selection of plants for sale, too."
"This beach is something of a well-kept secret, because during high tide it doesn’t exist!. At low tide, though, you’ll find an excellent beach that rarely gets busy – even during the summer holidays!. The ruins of the Wheal Dream tin mine overlook this secluded beach, one of the only tin mines to have been in St Ives."
"There are few towns anywhere which can rival St Ives for both number and quality of beaches. There are no less than five beautiful sandy beaches within easy walking distance of St Ives town centre. St Ives has few rivals for the crown of Cornwall's best beach town."
