Today it is a magnet for Thousands of tourists every year. Once the centre of the Cornish pilchard fishing industry, it is now mainly a tourist centre.
Unlike so many beautiful towns and villages St.Ives has managed to retail its rail link to the rest of the country, albeit slightly truncated to provide a car park. The views from the train windows as it approaches the town are outstanding.
This is an ideal touring centre for exploring Cornwall at its best. Nearby are magnificent beaches, secluded coves, picturesque towns and sub tropical gardens. The world famous Eden Project is 42 miles awayLocal towns and villages to visit
A dog ban is in place on St.Ives harbour between Easter and October.
