ST IVES

What can one say about the lovely sea side town of St Ives.

One time Home  of the Writer Dennis Val Baker who inspired many of us to go to Cornwall and sample its delights for ourselves (St Christopher's backing onto Porthmeor Beach).

Barbara Hepworth had her workshop here and there is the Barbara Hepworth museum now at that site.

 

St Ives now also houses the New Tate Modern Museum Annex, very nice Gift shops, Restaurants & Surfing Beaches.

A visiting must for anyone going to Cornwall and it is only 20mins away from the Bungalow.

Known to the Romans (PORTA) and Phoenicians as a trading port centre for Tin and Copper                                                           the history of St Ives goes back more than just 2 millennia.
