Sightseeing
St. Ives. 'Probably' one of the most famous destinations in Cornwall.
A wonderful harbour with pubs, cafe's restaurants, unique little shops, the Sloop Craft Market, Galleries and of course The Tate and the Barbra Hepworth Museum it really is a total gem. Add to this beaches to suit all and it is what we feel encapsulates Cornwall all in one hit! Beautiful and alive with arts and culture. We simply love it here.

Home of the King Arthur Legend. It's a bit of a big walk but beautiful and you can find out some of the legends of the King and grab a cream tea at the beginning or end.

Must See
The Minnack. A truly unique outdoor theatre perched high on the cliffs high above the Atlantic Ocean. It truly is a spectacle built by an extraordinary woman. You can read the story at the Minnack of how this was achieved, why and by whom. Astounding.

Theatrics
OK, so.we have had to list this as the Tehidy Woods, North Car Park 'BUT' bare with us.
The most wonderful immersive theatrical shows happen here various times of the year and if you have the time and inclination we 'highly' recommend them. Rogue Theatre are simply fantastic and alongside the setting you feel as though you have entered the fairy and piskie like nature of Cornwall.
Mantinee and Evening showings. We personally love the evenings due to the lighting. Suitable for adults and children alike. To check shows dates and times and to book tickets see here:
