Day 1
St. Ives, Cornwall
Notes
Spend the morning walking around the picturesque streets of St. Ives, and admiring the art works and gift shops. A great take away lunch would be a local "Cornish Pasty" or treat yourself to fresh fish and chips! Do try to find all the beaches I've listed, and take a walk over "The Island" (see the Coast Guard lookout tower).
Getting there
If you're staying in St. Ives itself, then good for you! Otherwise, if you're driving here then there are 2 options. On a day visit, you could use the "Park & Ride" scheme from St. Erth - where you can get a wonderful scenic train to St. Ives (highly recommended). Alternatively, follow the signs once you have reached St. Ives to find suitable parking. Be warned that the streets are narrow - so you may be best parking at St. Ives Leisure Centre, which is a steep 10 minutes walk up or down the hill to St. Ives.
